The life story of the highest decorated soldier of the Wehrmacht. Many photos of Rudels aircraft.

The Transportflieger was an important but often forgotten arm of the Luftwaffe, responsible for providing essential supplies and battlefield support to both the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe during their World War II campaigns across Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and finally the Ardennes and the remains of the Reicht. This book comprehensively covers the Transportflieger and its legendary workhorse, the Ju52, in its transport, parachute, and airlift roles. Also covered are others in the wide range of interesting aircraft employed by the Transportflieger, including the massive Me321 and Me323 Gigant heavy-lift glider and six-engined transporter, as well as the impressive multi-engined Ju290, Ju352 Herkules, Ju390, and the huge Bv222 flying boat. The book's numerous photos and color artworks serve as an excellent reference for aviation historians and modelers. The book also includes first-hand reminiscences from those who actually flew with the Transportflieger during the war.

The Junkers 87 Stuka was an iconic weapon of World War Two and an aircraft name that was, and still is, instantly recognized worldwide. Its roles in Poland and the Battles of France and the Low Countries are almost legendary, but in the UK its import during the Battle of Britain is one that has never been covered in any specific detail.Here, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at every operation by Ju87s against British targets in 1940 – including those on land and at sea. Each raid is charted, covering all aspects of the attacks including participants, defending RAF fighters and those on the receiving end. Myth and reality and truth and legend are all examined and analyzed in this highly illustrated new book, which adds to our knowledge of one of the most significant periods in the whole of British history. Foreword by Dr Hans Migeod, Ju87 Stuka pilot during Battle of Britain.
