Rating:  - More stories needed
I wish the author had done stories about the IV/JG-27 in Greece 1943. I heard the Group was successful against both the RAF Beaufighter attack aircraft and the American P-38 Lighting which provided fighter escort for the Beaufighters. Could have done some more success stories about Italian pilots flying the ME-109 against the Allies.
Rating: - Why misspell so many German names?
Very uncommon for Osprey books are the number of wrong or misspelled German words.
Example: Eisenlaub it should be Eichenlaub denoting the Oak leaves to the knights cross
Thus 4 out of 5
