Captured Eagles Vol. I

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

«Captured Eagles Vol. I» contains more than 100 outstanding photographs of captured German WWII aircraft. These photographs were taken by Allied soldiers as they fought their way across Europe towards Berlin in 1944/45. What distinguishes this book from other, similar works is the fact that with the exception of only a handful, all photos have never been published before and show many extremely rare aircraft (e.g. the first published photo proof that the Ju 88 G-7 entered production). Since the author owns the majority of the original wartime photos he could directly scan them and by doing so achieving the best possible quality. In all other cases, he received scans directly from the owners of the original wartime photographs.

 

This digital edition is based on a previously published printed edition (ISBN 978-3-033-03007-7) of «Captured Eagles Vol. I». The content of both the printed and digital edition is the same, but this iPad version has even 13 additional bonus photos and new information that was not published in the printed edition.
