New from Claes Sundin – Luftwaffe fighter aircraft Profile book No. 15
A limited-edition ‘special’ (only 200 copies printed) which brings together all of the Eastern Front profile artworks produced by Claes to his best standards including some 30 brand new profile subjects prepared especially for this volume. This comprehensive collection of German fighter aircraft from the Eastern Front – some 230 machines illustrated including new Doras and KG(J) machines – will provide readers with an understanding and appreciation of how Luftwaffe fighter pilots – not necessarily all decorated aces by any means – responded to the evolution of aerial combat during the period 1941–1945, from the early days of Operation Barbarossa to the unconditional surrender in May 1945. Notes on colours and camo application for individual aircraft written by David E. Brown. Claes intends to produce similar limited editions in the future devoted to particular theatres and operations such as ‘Fighters defending the West’ or ‘Luftwaffe fighters in the Mediterranean theatre’ etc. The book is produced to the same landscape format as previous titles, presenting one profile per page, after an introductory text. As usual all the artworks are created after careful study of all available photographic evidence.
” ..Once again, Claes returns with a superb book. But this time, it’s also larger in size, making it even more superb. Magnificent profiles and longer and more interesting texts. This new book dedicated to the Eastern Front should be the start of a mini-series of books dedicated to the different fronts, allowing us to learn about these aircraft from a different perspective. In short, a must-have without a doubt. Always waiting for the next one. Kudos to Claes...”
