Weal, John. Series editor: Tony Holmes. FOCKE-WULF Fw 190 ACES OF THE RUSSIAN FRONT. OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES SERIES 6.
Osprey, London, 1995.
96 pp, 9 3/4" H, soft cover. ISBN 1855325187 Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs and diagrams, colour profiles and uniform studies. "Of all the fronts fought on by the Jagdflieger during World War 2, the Russian, or Eastern was easily the most lucrative in terms of targets for the 'experten'. Marry an abundance of targets with the Luftwaffe's best piston-engined fighter of the war - Focke-Wulf's Fw 190 'Butcher Bird' - and it quickly becomes apparent why so many Jagdflieger achieved kills that passed the 100 victories mark. Flying in variable weather on a battlefront that was constantly changing, the Fw 190 pilots fought virtually to extinction in both the pure fighter and the crucial 'Schlacht' ground attack roles." Inte r i o r - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - faint rubbing on front cover, very soft small at bottom corner of covers. Very Good+

Weal, John. MESSERSCHMITT Bf 110 ZERSTORER ACES OF WORLD WAR 2. OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 25.
Osprey, Oxford, 1999, first edition.
104 pp, 9 3/4" H, soft cover. ISBN 1855327538 Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs, drawings, colour plates. "Although the Messerschmitt's single-engined Bf 109 received most of the plaudits for achieving virtual air superiority over Europe in 1939-40, the exploits of the manufacturer's twin-engined Bf 110 Zerstorer in the first years of the war also make for impressive reading. Acting as the 'main spearhead' of the Luftwaffe, the Zerstorergeschwader committed to the invasion of Pol a nd swiftly brushed aside the Polish Air Force in a matter of days. This success continued until the spring of 1940, when the first RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes were encountered in significant numbers following the launch of the Blitzkrieg in West er n Europe. From that point on, Bf 110 crews had to fight for their lives. Only in the Balkans and far flung North Africa in 1941 did the Bf 110 enjoy an 'Indian summer' in the daylight fighter role. Despite is obsolescence, the aircraft continu ed to perform as a heavy fighter, particularly in 1943-44 as USAAF heavy bomber formations raided Germany on a daily basis. Featuring the exploits of Ju 88 and Me 410 pilots as well as Bf 110 crews, this volume is the first of its type to be devote d e xclusively to Zerstorer day fighter aces, and spans the war years from Poland to the Defence of the Reich." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - one tiny corne crease and one small soft crease on front cover. Ve ry Good+
