Re: Kagero books

I have their "Luftflotte I 1939" and "Luftflotte VI 1939" and although the english is awfull (even for my taste) and photos not much, I liked it because it dealt with a subject I didnt know much about.
I was recently able to take a good look at most of their titles, including all the Ju 88 and Fw 190 volumes and Kaiser's Aces. In my opinion, the text was compilation of known books, nothing new.
The photos are quite suspicious. Few were very good, and they were from collections of some known western authors and collectors. But they were the only ones worth. About 80% of the photos were very well known, and were printed in bad quality. Why? Obviously because they were simply scanned from published sources. Interestingly enough, these photos were signed as comming from late mr. Heinz Nowarra (hmmmm???) or some Polish and German collections I never heard of, nor saw in any other books.
In the end I dropped the idea of bying any of these.
