Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9.25 inches tall; 238 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index. Claasen's research draws on an array of sources, including firsthand accounts, offi…cial military records, and previously overlooked documents, which help illuminate the broader narrative of Germany's war strategy and the Luftwaffe's critical, though often flawed, role. The author does not shy away from presenting the flaws in the Luftwaffe's leadership, particularly the impact of Hitler's direct interference in military decisions, which ultimately led to the failure of the campaign. The book is not just a military history; it also explores the broader geopolitical and environmental factors that affected the Luftwaffe's operations. The extreme weather conditions, the challenges of operating in remote regions with limited supply lines, and the inability to fully integrate with other branches of the German military are examined in-depth. Claasen's work provides an invaluable contribution to the study of World War II aviation history and offers a unique perspective on the Luftwaffe's less-discussed northern campaigns. [Adapted from Reviews] Subjects: Luftwaffe Operations; World War II Military Strategy; German Military Leadership; Strategic Military Campaigns (19401945); Geopolitics of Northern Europe during WWII; World War II Air Warfare; Norway and Finland in WWII; Impact of Weather on Military Operations; Role of Hitler in Military Decision-making; Allied Campaigns in Norway and the Arctic; Arctic Warfare; Technological and Tactical Aspects of WWII Aviation.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This gripping biography of Air Commodore Keith 'Grid' Caldwell CBE, MC, DFC & bar, Croix de Guerre, tells the story of his remarkable exploits during the First World War. Flying single-seat fighters against best of the German air force, including the Red Baron's Flying Circus and airmen such… as Werner Voss, Caldwell accumulated 26 victories in aerial combat. Over his illustrious career he flew with numerous 'stars' of the British air service, including Albert Ball, Billy Bishop and Mick Mannock. In the last year of the war, aged only 22, he was given command of the new 74 Squadron. Under his leadership the 'Tigers' become one of the war's most feared and revered units. Written by a leading military historian, Grid details Caldwell's journey from early flight training in Auckland to his death-defying sorties over enemy lines on the Western Front. It also details his pivotal role in sustaining military aviation in interwar New Zealand, and his role in reinvigorating interest in the airmen of the First World War during the 1960s and 1970s. Caldwell was a hero, a leader, and a man of great courage by any measure. Richly illustrated, including with images of First World War German and British planes from The Vintage Aviator Limited. The life and times of one of New Zealands greatest military heroes Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Very close to new copy. The fascinating and little-known story of New Zealand's daring military aviation pioneers. During the Great War, 1914-1918, New Zealanders were keen participants in the new field of military aviation. Close to 850 men, and a small number of women, from the Empire…'s southernmost dominion sought positions in the British and Australian air services. Drawing on extensive archival material from New Zealand, Australia and Britain, historian Dr Adam Claasen explores New Zealand's reluctance to embrace military aviation, the challenges facing the establishment of local flying schools and the journey undertaken by the New Zealanders from their antipodean farms and towns to the battlefields of the Great War. In spite of their modest numbers the New Zealanders' wartime experiences were incredibly varied. Across the conflict, New Zealand aviators could be found flying above the sands of the Middle East and Mesopotamia, the grey waters of the North Sea , the jungles of East Africa, the sprawling metropolis of London and the rolling hills of northern France and Belgium. Flying the open cockpit wood-and-wire biplanes of the Great War, New Zealanders undertook reconnaissance sorties, carried out bombing raids, photographed enemy entrenchments, defended England from German airships, strafed artillery emplacements and engaged enemy fighters. By the time the war ended many had been killed, others highly decorated, some elevated to 'ace' status and a handful occupied positions of considerable command. This book tells their unique and extraordinary untold story.
