LUFTWAFFE VICTORY MARKINGS 1939-45

During WWII, standard camouflage schemes were rigorously and officially imposed and, as a result, colorful and conspicuous finishes were forbidden. Successful pilots still sought to personalize their aircraft, but in slightly more circumspect fashion. This work examines the development of these markings through the stories and aircraft markings of a number of aces. Fully illustrated some in color.
