Permuy, R. A./Molina, L. Erprobungsverbände der Legion Condor. Die Staffeln VJ/88 und VB/88 im spanischen Bürgerkrieg

In this book you will find many rare original photos and highly revealing background knowledge about the trial units of the Condor Legion - a short but formative episode in the history of this legendary unit. The experiences with fighters and fast bombers at that time, with brand-new aircraft types such as Bf 109 and He 112, Do 17 and He 111 - to name but a few - influenced German air armament well into the Second World War! With this book, take an exciting journey into a chapter of air war history shrouded in mystery.

In your hands you hold an atypical book about the Condor Legion. Untypical, because it deals with two German air units that have been the stepchild of specialist literature up to now: The probationary units that the German Reich sent to Spain to participate in the civil war on the national side - on General Franco's side - in 1936-1939. Although both units were well documented and the types of aircraft tested there formed the spearhead of the German Luftwaffe in the Second World War, these experimental units had been badly neglected in previous specialist literature. What could be found were a few short comments or, at best, a few pages of text ... Here it is different!
