Aerei (2ª GM) - Germania - Luftwaffe: libri illustrati di storia e guide (2/3)

Aircraft of the Luftwaffe 1935-1945 - An Illustrated Guide

One of the most significant innovations in modern warfare has been the appearance and development of air power, a technology which demanded technical and financial investment on a whole new scale and which ultimately changed the fundamental nature of war itself.

This book covers the history and development of the German air force from 1935 to 1945, with descriptions and illustrations of almost all of the Luftwaffe's airplanes, including fighters, jet fighters, dive-bombers, ground attackers, medium and heavy bombers, jet bombers, seaplanes, flying boats and carrier planes, transport and gliders, reconnaissance and training aircrafts, helicopters, and many futuristic projects and other rarities.

German Gliders in World War II - Luftwaffe Gliders and Their Powered Variants

Gliders formed a special category of aircraft within the Luftwaffe. While other aircraft types were used for many years, as a rule gliders were conceived for short service lives, in some cases just a single mission.
The purpose of the glider, most of which were built using the simplest materials, was to deposit soldiers and materiel behind enemy lines undetected.

In this book the various types used by the Luftwaffe in World War II, and their development are described in detail - from military gliders for a few soldiers to large-capacity gliders capable of transporting tanks. Covered are the following types:
- DFS 230
- Gotha Go 242, Go 244 and Go 345 / Ka 430
- Messerschmitt Me 321 and Me 323
- Junkers Ju 322.

Luftwaffe Training Aircraft

Pilot and crew training was a largely unseen but essential part of aerial warfare, with a value that cannot be overstated. The Luftwaffe employed a wide range of training aircraft, guiding trainees from simple and older types such as the Klemm 35, Focke-Wulf Fw 44, and Bücker 131 to more advanced models including the Arado Ar 66, Gotha Go 145, and Arado Ar 76, as well as larger aircraft like the Junkers W33 and W44. Step by step, pilots were introduced to faster and more modern aircraft that prepared them for combat service.

Recruits first spent about six months at a training depot, where physical training and discipline were combined with basic instruction in radio use and map reading. This was followed by further theoretical study and then elementary flight training.

Aircraft types varied according to the future role of each trainee, from single-seat fighters to multi-crew bombers and transports. Bomber pilots, for example, trained on early He 111s, Ju 52s, Ju 86s, and Do 17s. Training also used captured aircraft and took place across occupied territories.
Away from the front, training schools allowed extensive photography, forming the basis for this richly illustrated study.

Deutsche Kampfflugzeuge im Zweiten Weltkrieg

The Second World War was an absolute heyday of military development. At the beginning of the war, many armed forces were still flying biplanes, but by the end of the war, operational jet aircraft were available. And this enormous technological leap took place in just over five years.
