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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A good pictorial reference,
By Lauro Ney Batista (Sao Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luftwaffe 4: Eagles Over North Africa & Mediteranean: 1940-1943 (Luftwaffe at War, 4) (Paperback)
This small book (just 72 pages) consists basically of a collection of (very good) pictures, with its respective legends, most of them unpublished until now (at least in the books I got). The stile is similar to "Aircraft of The Luftwaffe Fighter Aces", from Bernd Barbas's, made only over pictures and practically without technical text. Noteworthy is the initial section, with 11 WWII original color pictures, from the famous Jeff Ethell's private collection and other sources. A small four pages introduction summarizes the action of Luftwaffe in the Mediterranean and North Africa, from 1940 to 1943. The pictures, most in close-ups, are an excellent reference for modelers. As this book is part of a collection, which covers the Luftwaffe action over all fronts, I recommend the purchase of all of them.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference,
By FatCityBooks "Athena @ FatCityBooks" (Stockton, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luftwaffe 4: Eagles Over North Africa & Mediteranean: 1940-1943 (Luftwaffe at War, 4) (Paperback)
"Illustrated series presents every aspect of the German Air Force in World War II, on all fronts and in widely varying conditions." (taken from back of book) This book really gives you a good visual of the fighter planes in WWII! Jeffrey Ethell has given me much to go on!
