This is a rather small book that cover the range of attire and insignia of Luftwaffe personnel in various climates. Most images are in greyscale with a center section of colour plates. There is a section at the beginning of the book which discusses command organization and designation so if you ever wondered what BdFlGr was, it tells you that it is Bordfleigergruppe or shipboard floatplanes. This book is rife with such terminology in association with specific items of clothing as well. This book seems to be written for those interested in depth minute detail of historical significance. One could conceivably go on for hours discussing the advantages of two or three strap oxygen mask attachments by reading this book. Of particular note though is the use of this book to plan accurate diorama settings for scale military modelling.

Excelente libro, muy buenas laminas y fotografias, en la parte descriptiva hace un especial recuento de las unidades participantes de la Luftwaffe en la II Guerra Mundial, recomendadao para historiadores y modelistas
