In the thunder and smoke of the Second World War, no force reshaped the doctrine of aerial bombardment quite like the Luftwaffe — and German Air Force Bombers of World War Two: Volume One stands as a definitive chronicle of the aircraft, strategies, and crews that brought Nazi Germany's air war to devastating life. Alfred Price, a respected authority on aviation history and a former RAF officer, presents a meticulous and authoritative account of the German bomber arm from its clandestine rearmament in the 1930s through the campaigns of the early war years, detailing the technical specifications, operational histories, and tactical evolution of iconic aircraft such as the Heinkel He 111, the Junkers Ju 88, and the Dornier Do 17. Illustrated with precision artwork by Michael Roffe alongside rare period photographs and technical diagrams, this volume stands as both a scholarly reference and a visually compelling document of aerial warfare. Price writes with the clarity and authority of a practitioner turned historian, cutting through mythology to present the Luftwaffe's bomber force with rigorous objectivity — its formidable strengths, its critical doctrinal failures, and the human stories behind the machines. For students of military aviation, collectors, and historians alike, this first volume leaves one eager to discover how the story of Germany's bomber war ultimately unravelled.
