Eagles Over North Africa and the Mediterranean, 1940-43

This exciting on-going series covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II and charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. Each volume makes use of over a hundred rare and valuable photographs, many of them taken by Luftwaffe personnel, to bring history to life and record both the men and the aircraft they flew. Eagles Over Africa and the Mediterranean examines the situation of the Luftwaffe in North Africa between 1940 and 1943. Although the Luftwaffe achieved a great deal of success here, it was hampered by the constant demand for men and machines elsewhere, logistical problems, such as a crippling lack of fuel, and the harsh desert conditions.
