Dear All,
Arming the Luftwaffe: The German Aviation Industry in World War II, by Daniel Uziel, is described at McFarland's website at:
http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.p...-0-7864-6521-7
This soft cover book runs 312 pages and contains 59 photos. I have known Daniel since 2003. He and I met up at NARA II in 2004 while he had a 1-year fellowship at the NASM. His fellowship topic was the German aircraft industry during the last year of the war, a subject not very well covered and certainly of great interest to me and many others. This book is the culmination of this research as well as research conducted worldwide.
As for the book's title, Daniel wrote to me:
'The title photo is OK now, but the publisher chose the title for the sake of publicity. It does not really reflect the focus of the book and I am afraid that this is the first thing reviewers are going to “kill”.'
So, he's already had his first kill here.
I have helped a bit here and there as I could toward the book, but the vast majority of the research effort credit goes to Daniel. I haven't received my author's copy yet, but I can assure you that the book is well worth your consideration. Anyone who would spend the amount of time Daniel spent in front of the microfilm readers as he did for a year has my empathy and respect.
Regards,
Richard
