I do hope that this has been updated if it is as I think a reprint of the original? At risk of being criticised, what a dreadful cover......again

A pity if it is a reprint, or updated, and not indicated as being such.

If you Google, a book with the same title & author was published by Janes in 1979

Re: German Night Fighter Force 1917-1945

The original edition, Geschichte der Deutschen Nachtjagd 1917-1945, was published by Motorbuch Verlag in 1978 . The english version had 284 pages, and quite a few errors. Let's hope they have corrected them. I'm not knocking the book, for it's time, it was a real eye-opener.

Re: German Night Fighter Force 1917-1945

I agree-I remember getting it at the Library when I was a schoolboy. However, nearly 40 years have passed since its first publication with loads more published on the subject in the intervening years so to not undertake a major update is a dangerous approach and nowhere does the blurb say it has been updated
