THE EARLY YEARS 1939 - 12 JULY 1941 PART 1
by Theo Boiten &
Roderick Mackenzie
This continuing book series that will prove essential
for Luftwaffe historians and those with an interest in RAF
Bomber Command. The Nachtjagd Combat Archive is a
comprehensive record of over 6000 Luftwaffe Night Fighter
Claims and 2100 Flak claims which have been painstakingly
matched to RAF Bomber Command losses resulting in over 95%
of them now being identified. This means that for the first
time ever, the fate of the vast majority of RAF Bomber
Command losses can be clearly understood with exact
locations, times and identities of the pilots or Flak units
responsible for bringing them down. This brand new volume is
packed with photos of Luftwaffe night fighters,
personalities and downed RAF bombers, together with a colour
map depicting losses on the 10/11 May 1941, Hamburg, Emden
and Berlin raids.
