 Forsyth single-handedly rescues Osprey Elite brand ! November 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Following on from his recent excellent JV 44 book, this is a second Osprey Elite volume from Robert Forsyth, author, historian & driving force behind the leading Luftwaffe publishing house, Classic Publications. Having worked with him on some of his titles I know Robert well. In fact while Robert initially had doubts about producing these titles for Osprey, I urged him -over a pint- to take the project on, knowing full well that there is no-one more passionate or knowledgeable on late-war Luftwaffe (jet) ops. One year on then this new release relates the story of the Luftwaffe's most prominent Me 262 jet unit and is an excellent compilation of the latest research including new photos (all the 'recent' LiF Sinner pics in one place) and personal accounts assembled in a superb package. I particularly enjoyed the stories from the ex-JG 300 contingent. Once again the book features some superlative artwork from Jim Laurier and unusually for Osprey the bibliography comprises a range of unpublished sources.. Recommended!
