The author of this work, a well-respected authority on the subject of Luftwaffe aircraft and operations, first explains why German forces came to be fighting in North Africa before dealing in detail with Luftwaffe fighter operations in this theatre. Originally flying in aid of Italian forces, from February 1941 the German fighter force then flew in support of Rommel's famed Afrika Korps and this title describes German fighter operations during Operations Brevity and Battleaxe, the Crusader battles, the capture of Tobruk and Rommel's advance to El Elamein. Also included are details of the Luftwaffe's operations against the important island fortress of Malta, together with pilots' accounts, maps, orders of battle and a biography of the 'Star of Africa', Hans-Joachim Marseille. Of special interest to modellers is the inclusion of information and colour profiles on new and unusual camouflage schemes. 96 pages, approximately 200 photographs and 25 full color profiles.
