LUFTWAFFE ACES: German Combat Pilots of WWII is a translation (from the original German) of a work by Franz Kurowski that highlights the achievements of 7 Luftwaffe airmen (all but one of them pilots) who experienced combat within various branches of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) from the fighter arm, the bomber arm, the close support arm, and the dive bomber arm throughout World War II. The translation, aside from a few errors (e.g. stating 'airframes' instead of 'aircraft' which was the more appropriate word), is good, and the book is studded with various photos of the 7 airmen so profiled, in addition to the aircraft they flew into battle on the various fighting fronts.
