Jagdwaffe: Battle of Britain: Phase
One: July-August 1940 (Luftwaffe
Colours: Volume Two, Section 1) by
Eddie J Creek
Start Of The Battle Of Britain
This book tells the story of the Martin B-26 Marauder, a much-maligned yet
capable aircraft and its performance against one of the most controversial,
mysterious and enigmatic units of the Luftwaffe, the Jadverband 44 (JV
44). It is a story that aims to set the record straight about the Marauders
combat performance as well as the desperate efforts of young German
airmen to shoot it down in the final days of the war. This is an in depth
look at one of the last and defining air battles that took place at the end of
WWII. The Battle over Bavaria took place in April of 1945 and was fought
by the JV 44 and the Marauders of the 17th, 323rd , and 344th
Bombardment Groups. The JV 44 was in Bavaria to defend the German jet
aircraft production centers and the Marauders were there to bomb them.

Personal Review: Jagdwaffe: Battle of Britain: Phase One: July-
August 1940 (Luftwaffe Colours: Volume Two, Section 1) by
Eddie J Creek
Although the Jagdwaffe series is a detailed examination of Luftwaffe fighter
camouflage and markings and pictorial the series also covers the history of
the Jagdwaffe. This particular book looks at the German preparation and
plan of campaign for the Battle of Britain and covers the opening phase of
the battle from 1 July to 12 August 1940. What I particularly like is the
separate boxed text of interviews of Luftwaffe fighter pilots giving a brief
history of themselves and usually also describing an exciting fighter
engagement. Like the previous books in the series this book includes
many photographs and colour profiles of Messerschmitt 109s that would
prove invaluable to the keen modeling enthusiast. This book explains how
and why Messerschmitt 109 E camouflage and markings changed in this
period to tone down the colours against the channel and english
countryside. Also included in this book is a six page biography on Werner
Molders. This is an excellent book and series and is highly recommended
to those who have an interest in the Luftwaffe and specifically Volume Two
to those who have an interest in the Battle of Britain.
