Messerschmitt Bf 109E Units in the Battle of Britain Part ONE JG2, JG3 JG26. Wing Leader Photo Archive Number 2
27,50 €This book is the first of three in our Wingleader Photo Archive series devoted to Bf 109 Units in the Battle of Britain. This is a project that the publisher is actually working on some years ago but which stalled through the lack of decent photographs. With the launch of the new Wingleader series, they saw a way of revitalising the project using all the profiles that had been prepared, and introducing a lot of newly discovered 109 photos.
The result is slightly different to the Spitfire MkI book in that this one concentrates on the units rather than the history of the aircraft itself. The great thing is that each Staffel has a specially commissioned profile by renowned digital artist Piotr Forkasiewicz, (39 in this book alone and 8 extra pages because of it), making it a remarkably colourful read in every way.
The aim of this book is to help the reader identify and understand the various styles of camouflage and markings used by the Bf 109 units during the Battle. Some had large numerals, some small, some had heavily mottled sides, others pale blue. Most had emblems and some carried both the Gruppe and Staffel emblems at the same time. The colours of the markings were also significant of course, and again this book explains the system behind them. Do have a look at our sample pages below to see how it looks inside, it’s probably one of the most colourful books we’ve ever published! -

Tankograd Militärfahrzeug Spezial 5091: PUMA VJTF Der neue Schützenpanzer der Very High Readiness Joint Task Force L
18,95 €The Puma VJTF – as the most modern version of an armoured infantry fighting vehicle within the German Bundeswehr – is specially adapted to the threats and challenges of the modern battlefield and outperforms its predecessor variant in command, reconnaissance, effectiveness and the support of its mounted and dismounted forces. As a fully digitized combat vehicle, it also forms the basis of the Armoured Infantry Soldier and is capable of seamlessly integrating the expanded Infantryman of the Future system. The Puma’s new weapon systems, such as the MELLS anti-tank guided missile, not only enable more firepower, but also allow unrestricted day and night operations, on the move and with greater range. In consequence, the Puma VJTF combines the principle of fire and movement with improved armour and a multifunctional self-protection system.
This publication shows the new Puma armoured infantry fighting vehicle in its current VJTF configuration for the very first time in service and in great technical detail.
Illustrated throughout with 200 colour photographs and 10 graphics. -

Tankograd Militärfahrzeug Spezial 5093: PANZERTRUPPE – German Armored Vehicles Today
18,95 €Due to its firepower, mobility, thrust, protection, assertiveness and command capability, the Panzertruppe (German Armour Corps) is particularly well suited for decisive combat. Its structure and equipment enables it to conduct long-range attacks, or fast and powerful attacks with a closer target. In addition, the Panzertruppe serves to conduct and support national and alliance defence measures, as well as international conflict prevention and crisis management. The main task of main battle tanks of the Panzertruppe is to fight against enemy tank formations in open terrain.
Today, as in the early days of the Bundeswehr, the Panzertruppe is the backbone of mechanised forces of the Bundeswehr. Its main weapon system today is the Leopard 2 main battle tank and it also fields an impressive range of wheeled and tracked support vehicles. This publication offers, for the first time ever, a comprehensive visual overview on the various state-of-the-art vehicles used by the Panzertruppe today, from motorcycle to main battle tank, illustrates the organisation of a German armour battalion and tells the story of the Bundeswehr’s armour battalions active today.
