First Edition in English. quarto, grey boards with aircraft on cover in pictorial dust jacket. (288)pp. Schiffer, Extensively illustrated with black and white photographs and maps. Translated from the German by David Johnston. "Many of the tactics and strategies of the Luftwaffe were first formulated and used during operations in Spain. Also, various aircraft were tested and used, such as the famous Ju 87, Do 17, He 111 and Bf 109-all stalwarts of the later Luftwaffe during World War II. Many Luftwaffe pilots received combat training in Spain; Werner Molders and Adolf Galland first earned their wings as members of the Legion Condor. Renowned Luftwaffe experts Karl Ries and Hans Ring have brought together over 480 photographs, including aerial reconnaissance photos, detailed unit insignia, and action shots. The history of the Legion Condor is discussed in great detail, including the many personalities, thorough battle analysis, and technical aspects of the weaponry. The result is a superb historical study of the early Luftwaffe" (Schiffer Publishing). As new copy, jacket not clipped. quarto, grey boards with aircraft on cover in pictorial dust jacket.…
