Volume 5 of the Stipdonk/Meyer Zerstörer and Nachtjagdverbaende series forthcoming from JAPO

 






Nearly 15 years after volume 4 (but only three years after the successful "German fighters in the West), Volume 5 of the six-part series on the Luftwaffe  Zerstörer and night fighter units 1935-45 – and the first to be published by JAPO - has been announced on the JAPO website. Caption writing and text editing is completed and the publisher is hard at work designing and preparing the lay-out...

Volume 4 concluded with coverage of 8./ZG 26 and this 5th volume takes up the story with extensive photo coverage of, among others, 9./ZG 26, the Ju 88-equipped V./KG 40 and ZG 76 and its Me 410s in the defence of the Reich.   English-language text features brief career details for all Verbandsführer.
