Osprey Aircraft of the Aces №092. John Weal. Fw 190 Defence of the Reich Aces

Illustrator: John Weal. — Osprey Publishing, 2011. — 96 p.Renowned aviation author and artist, John Weal, presents the last volume of Fw 190 Aces not previously covered in the Aircraft of the Aces series. From mid-1942 until the end of the war, German fighter pilots were deployed in the defence of the homeland in an effort to halt the near-constant bombing raids by Britain and America. This book tells their story, from the moment when the Luftwaffe began to retreat to the dying days of the Reich. Using previously unpublished photographs, this book charts the story of the men who earned their status as aces while fighting a hopeless battle to protect the land and the people they loved.1942 - Early RAF 1943 - The War of Attrition 1944 - Bloodletting over the Reich 1945 - The War is Lost Appendices
