 Eagles over North Africa and the Mediterranean, 1941-1943
Jeffrey L. Ethell
This small book (just 72 pages) consists basically of a collection of (very good) pictures, with its respective legends, most of them unpublished until now (at least in the books I got). The stile is similar to "Aircraft of The Luftwaffe Fighter Aces", from Bernd Barbas's, made only over pictures and practically without technical text. Noteworthy is the initial section, with 11 WWII original color pictures, from the famous Jeff Ethell's private collection and other sources. A small four pages introduction summarizes the action of Luftwaffe in the Mediterranean and North Africa, from 1940 to 1943. The pictures, most in close-ups, are an excellent reference for modelers. As this book is part of a collection, which covers the Luftwaffe action over all fronts, I recommend the purchase of all of them.
