Das vergessene As. Der Jagdflieger Gerhard Barkhorn
62,00 €Despite the fact that Gerhard Barkhorn scored a total of 301 victories while flying with Jagdgeschwader 52 on the Eastern Front, making him the second most successful fighter pilot of the Second World War after Erich Hartmann, today he is almost forgotten. This book describes Barkhorns wartime experiences with JG 2 on the Channel, JG 52, JG 6 and finally JV 44. Excerpts from original combat reports enable the reader to feel the drama of the events that happened back then. Barkhorns career in the postwar Bundeswehr is also examined.
Published in this book for the first time are numerous color slides taken by Barkhorn during his service with JG 52, as well as many black-and-white photos. It also contains color side-views of every aircraft flown by Barkhorn. It is a book that examines all aspects of the fighter ace.
155 pictures, 35 of them in colour, 8 maps, illustrations: 15 full-page colour profiles of the planes flown by Barkhorn (of Claes Sundin). -

Nuts & Bolts, Vol. 38: Jagdpanzer IV, Part 2 – L/70 (Sd.Kfz.162/1) (Vomag & Alkett)
29,90 €As previously announced we continue with part 2 on the history of the Jagdpanzer IV. This describes the two versions developed by the companies VOMAG and ALKETT, both types were armed with the 7.5 cm Pak 42 L/70, an anti-tank gun that derived from the famous gun of the Panther. If you take into account that the series production of both versions did not commence until August 1944, it is really surprising that by the end of the war (only 8 months later,) 970 VOMAG and 277 ALKETT vehicles with this armament were built. However, both versions had no major impact on the course of the war.
With 393 photos (160 historic, 19 model, 214 modern), 42 blueprints, 17 camouflage schemes, tactical markings, table of organsisation (KStN). -
