What if the Luftwaffe had gone to war with an entirely different arsenal of aircraft — machines that never left the drawing board, or prototypes that were cancelled before they could change the course of history? The Alternate Luftwaffe, Volume 3: North Africa & the Middle East transports readers into a meticulously crafted world of speculative military aviation, focusing on the scorching deserts and contested skies of North Africa and the Middle East as the theatre for these remarkable what-if scenarios. John Baxter presents a compelling collection of hypothetical German aircraft, rendered in stunning detail, that imagines how experimental and prototype Luftwaffe designs might have performed in some of the war's most demanding and sun-baked combat environments. Baxter's work sits at the crossroads of alternative history and scale modelling artistry, drawing on deep technical knowledge of World War II German aviation to construct plausible and visually arresting scenarios. Each volume in the Alternate Luftwaffe series has built a loyal following among aviation enthusiasts, military historians, and modellers alike, and this third instalment raises the stakes by placing these phantom warbirds over the vast, unforgiving landscapes of Africa and the Middle East. Will these aircraft of the imagination rewrite the rules of desert air warfare? The answer is as tantalising as it is thought-provoking.
