Circa: 2006 Manufacturer: Classic Allan Publishing Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. This is the concluding volume of this in-depth study of the Luftwaffes transport units during World War Two. Undoubtedly the workhorse that is synonymous with these units was the legendary Ju 52 and this aircraft gets appropriate exposure in its transport, parachute and airlift roles. However, the units also deployed a wide range of interesting aircraft such as the massive Me 321 and Me 323 Gigant heavy-lift glider and six-engined transporter, as well as the impressive multi-engined Ju 290, Ju 352 Herkules, Ju 390 and the huge Bv 222 flying boat. Also covered will be the smaller Gotha tactical transport gliders and the role of captured USAAF B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators which flew agent-dropping missions for the Luftwaffes clandestine special tasks unit, KG200. These two volumes provide a comprehensive and highly detailed account of these units which will be required reading for all historians and modellers of the Luftwaffe during these years.
