TRANSPORTER Vol 2 LUFTWAFFE TRANSPORT UNITS 1943-1945

This is the concluding volume of this in-depth study of the Luftwaffe's transport units during World War II. Undoubtedly the workhorse that is synonymous with these units was the legendary Junkers Ju52 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 Messerschmitt Me321 and Me323 Gigant heavy-lift glider and six-engined transporter, as well as the impressive multi-engined Ju290, Ju352 Herkules, Ju390 and the huge Bv222 flying boat. Also covered is the smaller Gotha tactical transport gliders and the role of captured US Army Air Force B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators which flew agent-dropping missions for the Luftwaffe's clandestine special tasks unit, KG 200. 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..
