Küstenflieger - The Operational History of the German Naval Air Service 1935-1944

The impact of the Treaty of Versailles on the build-up of German forces in the interwar period and the influence of Hermann Göring greatly influenced the design, capability and size of the Küstenfliegergruppen. While Germany operated seaplanes throughout the war, the Kriegsmarine's naval air arm was constantly under threat from the Luftwaffe.

This book covers the history of the German naval air arm between the two World Wars as well as unit histories for the major Küstenfliegergruppen during the Second World War.

The book also covers the camouflage and marking systems of the Küstenfliegergruppen prior to and during the Second World War. tried to blow him up with RPGs.
