Just recieved this new book from Andrea Press, via Amazon. Authors are the Spaniards, Santaigo Guillen & Gustavo Cano.
Book is somewhat similiar to "Deutsche Soldaten" in size & layout, and it covers uniforms, headgear, and especially , flight equipment, which covers roughly half of the book.
Very good quality color illustrations throughout, with some original black & white and color wartime photos.
I just recieved it yesterday, but the initial impression is quite favorable. I noticed one major mistake so far; a full page photo of Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert is mis-identified as Theo Weissenberger.
Amazon no longer shoew the book as available
, I ordered mine in their pre-publication phase last March. Retail price is $75.00
IMHO, not a replacement for Angolia's three volume work, or Davis' two volumes, but a fine complement to either one. Especially recommended for flight gear collectors.
Also, no coverage of Luftwaffe awards, and light on uniform insignia.
