This book differs from most of Claes Sundin's previous publications in that it focuses on the air war on the Eastern Front and is similar to the 2019 book Pacific Fighter Aircraft. Profile Book No. 9. It contains 230 high-quality profiles of German combat aircraft and reflects a selection of Claes Sundin's best work. Of these, 30 are completely new aircraft profiles, while the others are a selection from the previously published profile books Nos. 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, which have been updated or corrected where necessary. This comprehensive collection of German combat aircraft from the Eastern Front gives readers an understanding and appreciation of how the men and machines of the Luftwaffe responded to the development of air combat between 1941 and 1945 from the early days of Operation Barbarossa to the unconditional surrender in May 1945. This history is presented through texts and profiles of the various types of fighter aircraft used by the Luftwaffe, reflecting the elaborate and evolving camouflage schemes and colours, theatre markings, personal and victory markings of the pilots, and the insignia used by the various squadrons, groups and staffs.
