Jagdwaffe: Holding the West, 1941 - 1943, Luftwaffe Colours, Volume 4, Section 1 Paperback – 29 Aug. 2003 by David Wadman (Author), Martin Pegg (Author) Following the Battle of Britain, RAF Fighter Command went over to the offensive, carrying the flight for air superiority to the enemy-held coast of Europe. At the same time, the bulk of the Luftwaffe fighter force had been transferred to Russia or the Middle East, l Leaving only two German units for defense of France and the occupied countries. Despite the RAF's numerical advantage, not only was it unable to achieve its aims but also suffered heavy losses. This is the sometimes astonishing story of the German fighter force, now holding all the advantages of fighting over its own territory, in its defensive and offensive operations against growing Allied might from June 1941 to August 1943., Operations on the Western Front while a large number of Luftwaffe units were elsewhere on 'Barbarossa' are chronicled in the first part of another volume of this comprehensive survey of colours and markings used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Jagdwaffe: The Mediterranean 1942-1943- Volume 4 Section 2 (Luftwaffe Colours) Paperback – January 1, 2003 by Jean-louis Roba (Author), Martin Pegg (Author) Rommel's advance into Egypt forced the Allies to retreat to the El Alamein defenses. As the British Eighth Army prepared for a massive offensive attack, there followed a period of stalemate on the ground, but in the air the Luftwaffe was faced with a numerically superior force. Luftwaffe's fighter units, outnumbered and continually starved of supplies, fought on in support of Rommel's final battles in North Africa and against the vital British island fortress of Malta. Eventually forced to transfer units from an already critical situation on the Russian Front, German fighter pilots faced growing Allied air power but achieved some outstanding successes, and for a while the battle for Malta hung in the balance. German and Italian forces in North Africa were eventually defeated by superior Allied forces, ULTRA intelligence and the µTorch' landings. This title tells the story of the German fighter force in North Africa from the El Alamein offensive in October 1942 to final defeat in Tunisia in May 1943. Contains numerous first-hand accounts.
