"DEUTSCHE LUFTWAFFE" GERMAN WW2 PILOT FLIGHT JACKET HELMET BOOTS REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The mighty German Luftwaffe cut its teeth in the Spanish Civil War, and shocked the world in 1940 with swift blitzkrieg assaults on the Low Countries and France. They deployed gliders, paratroopers, fighters, and dive bombers, and established Germany as the first warring nation to wield devastating airpower. From its inception, the Luftwaffe was on the cutting edge of aviation technology, introducing jet and rocket aircraft, ejection seats, and radical advances in flight gear. German Luftwaffe flight equipment has been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Gustavo Cano and Santiago Guillén to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2013. This "DEUTSCHE LUFTWAFFE" GERMAN WW2 PILOT FLIGHT JACKET HELMET BOOTS REFERENCE BOOK is in very good to excellent, unread condition, with some scattered denting, scuffing, and tearing to the dust jacket, and with some scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in fine shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, along with integral red and black satin bookmarks, and sports 358 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of German Luftwaffe visor caps and dress tunics, black leather, "flecked" cotton, and "Netzkopfhaube" mesh flight helmets, splinter goggles, summer flight jackets, and "Channel" suits, sheepskin flight boots, B-Uhr watches, and life vests, Lugers, P-38s, and other pistols and holsters, and much, much more. A beautiful example of a "DEUTSCHE LUFTWAFFE" GERMAN WW2 PILOT FLIGHT JACKET HELMET BOOTS REFERENCE BOOK.
