    Luftwaffe vs. IJA

    What if after the victory in the Spanish Civil War the Germans opt to continue and expand their contributions to the Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion; let's say Hitler dies after violating the Munich Agreement in March 1939 and the war with Poland doesn't happen, but Germany still has...

    Big Stuka update

    It's been a really long time since I looked at Stukas, so I have added a lot! The Ju 87 Stuka was a purpose-built dive-bomber which entered Luftwaffe service in 1935. Over 6,500 Stukas were built, and they were highly accurate and successful when there was no fighter opposition present...

    He-177

    I don't think I posted these before...? The Heinkel He 177 was a 4-engined heavy bomber which entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1942. It had an interesting layout of double-engines driving a single propellor in each wing ‘pod’ which led to serious complications in the early development...

    LUFTWAFFE GROUND KILLS

    I think I had this in the wrong section...Did the Luftwaffe include ground kills as part of a pilot's score? I thought this was only an Eighth Air Force thing. I found a photo of Walter Oesaus's 109E, Werknr.1559 that show 39 kill markings on the rudder, 14 pointing downwards. The caption says...

    RAF daylight strategic bombing campaign results

    How would the RAF have faired if they had gone for a daylight strategic bombing campaign from 1941 on? Let's say the choice to go for a daylight campaign means they adopt the long range Spitfire variant for service as a escort. In 1941-42 the Luftwaffe was only fielding two Wings of fighters...

    Birth of the Luftwaffe Research Group

    As the famous LEMB is now closed, some members needed the fill the void. And so the Luftwaffe Research Group was born. It enrolled some very knowledgeable former posters to investigate, answer, explain anything Luftwaffe related during 1933-1945. Link to the forum Luftwaffe Research Group

    New Book: Emblems of Jagdwaffe 1937-45

    Hi Chaps Just thought I'd draw the attention of Luftwaffe Modellers to a new self published book by a member of the LEMB forum Sinisa Sestanovic. Filled with superb highly accurate artwork and 20 years of study will ensure that modellers now have a definative reference work for their models.
