Yet another great volume from Brian L Davis. Intelligently-written well-documented text, along with the usual high-quality photographs and illustrations we expect from Mr. Davis provide an excellent sourcebook for military collectors, military historians, or anyone interested in 20th century history.
Davis' second Luftwaffe volume has joined the elite of my bookshelf - those books that are looked at innumerable times due to their outstandingly useful content. While I paid a collector's price for this volume, I was not disappointed. The text, line drawings, and unique photos are all an invaluable resource.
Brian Davis's work on Luftwaffe uniforms and insignia is the fundamental work, standing in one rank with such work as John Angolia and Adolf Schlict's book "Uniforms and traditions of the Luftwaffe". Brian Leigh is a well-known historical researcher. All of us know his previous publications on flags of the Third Reich, the classical "German Army Uniforms and Insignia", "Badges and insignia of the Third Reich" etc.This books covers ALL aspects of the Luftwaffe uniforms and insignia in 1940-1945: ranks in the various arms of the Luftwaffe, badges of rank and collar patches, Waffenfarbe, trade and specialist badges, qualification badges, aiguillettes, gorgets and many, many more. The main circumstance doing the given book of such valuable, that the author quotes original orders, instructions and regulations of the Luftwaffe. It does the book irreplaceable for those researchers who wish to understand the difficult and confused system of clothing and equipment of military-air forces of the Third Reich. And, as laways, the author's friend and collaborator, Malcolm McGregor, done a great job with line drawings.
Good book, found good info, great reference guide and a good book to have in any historians collection.
