Guide To German Night Fighters In World War II: The Night Defenders Of The Reich
(Kagero – January 31, 2022
by Eduardo Manuel Gil Martínez
140 pages - paperback

"Many books on the Luftwaffe in World War II have been published over the years, although the Night Fighter´s branch has been studied less often. In our Guide to German Night Fighters in World War II, you will be able to know all the types and subtypes of aircraft used by the Luftwaffe in the night defense of Germany. In addition, in a didactic way we will know the history of the German Night Fighters, the units, aces, tactics, types of radars, the camouflages, the armament, etc. We will not forget the use of night fighters made in Germany in other countries such as Italy, Romania or Hungary, or even Japanese night fighters. Finally, we will make a ranking of the German night fighters to know which of them was the best. In this guide, you will find everything you need to learn about German Night Fighters in an easy but deep way."

Unfortunately I bought the book. It is one of the worst books about German nightfighters with a lot of errors. On top of that most of the pictures in the book comes from internet sites.

A clear warning

Don't buy anything made by that guy.
I agree with Carsten, he must be one of the worst authors ever.

I was unlucky enough to buy two of his previous books at the same time.

One of the worst mistakes of my life.....

Cheers
Stig

I agree with the general sentiment expressed here - I also own two books by this author, and was thoroughly unimpressed with them, to put it tastefully. On that basis, I certainly won't be buying anything else from him.
