{"product_id":"the-luftwaffe-a-history","title":"The Luftwaffe: A History","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Killens exhaustive work is a study of German air power between 1915 and 1945  from the early days of flying when Immelmann  Boelke  Richtofen and other First World War aces fought and died to give Germany air supremacy  to the nightmare existence of the Luftwaffe as the Third Reich plunged headlong to destruction.  Here are the aircraft: the frail biplanes and triplanes of the Kaisers war; the great Lufthansa aircraft and airships of the turbulent Thirties; the monoplanes designed to help Hitler in his conquest of Europe. Here are the generals who forged the air weapon of the Luftwaffe - the swaggering Goering  the playboy Udet  the ebullient Kesselring and the scapegoat Jeschonnek; here  too  are the pilots who tried to keep faith with their Fatherland despite overwhelming odds; Adolf Galland  Werner Molders  Joachim Marseille and Hanna Reitsch. Not least are the actions fought by the Luftwaffe from the Spanish Civil War to the Battle of Britain  through the bloody struggle for Crete and the siege of Stalingrad to the fearful twilight over Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959907315765,"sku":"ByrdShop_1781591105","price":219.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781781591109.jpg?v=1770378520","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-luftwaffe-a-history","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
