Looks interesting. Paul (Maximowitz) might be able to advise on content/quality ?

I think some of you guys already pointed it out to me as a possible excellent source for reference material. Dunno if I've seen a thread about there series on this forum or another, but I've seen it somewhere.

EDIT:
Book has just now been delivered (boy these guys are fast when it comes to shipping) and it seems to be an excellent book. Loads and loads of very interesting pic's I've never ever seen before (and I've seen quite a few sofar)

Good to know.

Nice one David. Wasn't that the book Dominik (V2) was looking for also? I remember searching around trying to find it, without any luck. Maybe he'd be interested in finding out where you got it?

I think you're right, I sent him a PM with the info. Thanks for reminding me.

I've heard they are excellent books - but as I don't read German pretty useless to me. I realise the photo captions are in English, but my primary interest is in NJG Unit history.

[...] I realise the photo captions are in English, but my primary interest is in NJG Unit history.

If I need to comment on anything about the book it has to be the somewhat odd English translations, but other then that it's excellent sa far as the picture go (however I'm glad I paid a little attention durig my German classes though)

Although it might be a costly affair, I'm seriously considering at least getting the second volume of the series (because of the NJG.2 section)

Ordered me a new book today. Gonna check out this series for bit. With NJG.1 and NJG.2 being my primary areas of interest (due to the fact that a good bunch of Staffeln operated in the area I live), so I don't know if other books in the series would be useful (as far a modeling goes) but this volume deals with NJG.1 (among other things) so it should be a good starting point.

highly recommended photo albums IMHO

posted my "review" of this series

Couldn't agree more, even by only looking though it in a casual way. Paired with more text based books detailing the operations it great. Funny How I read about a particular event in one book (Wespennest Leeuwarden series in particular) and then to find an odd picture exists to go with it.

After having bougt the first volume of this series the other day to check it out and to see how the service of the webshop was (as it seems the series is not available in every webshop you look)

I wanted more. The quality of the photographic material in the first volume was just amazing. With a little extra cash available (holiday reservations of 12 months being cashed) I decided I 'needed' a treat and ordered volumes 2-4 as well :O

Hi,
I just got for just a few Euros this booklet from e-bay

Unfortunately it's in German, a language I don't speak but most are drawing/photos of dashboard and relevant instruments, like shown in this sample page

If you are interested in anything specific just let me know, I will be very please to find out if the information are available.
Cheers
Alberto

Looks like a useful book Alberto. The individual shots of instruments could be used to make decals too - very handy !

 

[vikingBerserker]

That actually looks pretty sweet!

[vikingBerserker]

Excellent! I think that's the first time I've seen the roundal instead of the cross for them.

I really wish they would do the same for all the other smaller airforces, the format of the book is very enjoyable and clear.

Just got this oen in. It's been one of the better books on the Luftwaffe Warplanes as it also lists a number of the lesser known aircraft such as the Fw 191, Hs 130, Ju 323, and the Bf 161/162. Highly recommended.
