A single ace with a hundred victories might have been credible, but one hundred six aces each recorded one hundred victories or more, and the top scorer claimed three hundred fifty-two. However, postwar research proved that German shoot-down confirmations were given only after rigorous checking.\n\nTo discover the secret of the Luftwaffe pilots success, aviation historian Mike Spick examines the exploits of Nazi Germanys most famous pilots, focusing on the methods and tactics of individual aces, examining the importance of machinery, training, climate, numbers, and theater of war, and using firsthand accounts to put the reader in the pilots seat. This book is easily the best possible guide to how the German aces achieved such amazing results in battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947637436469,"sku":"ByrdShop_0804116962","price":92.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780804116961_54ced179-4dd3-4afa-8e88-8f8baf916b05.jpg?v=1778855228","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/luftwaffe-fighter-aces-the-jagdflieger-and-their-combat-tactics-and-techniques-9780804116961","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
