One of Weal's earlier works for Osprey, the length of the "Aviation Elite" series allowed him to go into some matters that might otherwise get glossed over, such as how the pilot replacement system worked. Besides that the "Green Hearts" had an unusual history for a German fighter wing, if only because one of its "gruppen" was basically built from the fighter arm of the pre-Anschluss Austrian air force. Also, the core of its service was as the one fighter wing serving over "Army Group North" on the Russian Front. From there it's the typical story of the elements of the German fighter arm, swinging from Blitzkrieg glory, to the grind of attritional warfare, to trying to mitigate final collapse by flying from the "Courland Pocket" to Denmark to surrender to the British.

Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (26)One of the most successful of the high-scoring Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader during World War 2, JG 54 'Grünherz' (Green Hearts) was formed from three disparate fighter 'Gruppen' immediately prior to the Battle of Britain. Having enjoyed immediate success over the Channel and South-east England during the summer of 1940, the unit was transferred to the Eastern Front in the spring of 1941 in preparation for Operation Barbarossa - the German invasion of the Soviet Union. JG 54 would remain aJagdwaffe stalwart in the east, flying firstly Bf 109Fs and then the Fw 190. By war's end, the Geschwader's pilots had claimed over 9500 kills, and produced over 100 aces. Men like Hans Philipp, Walter Nowotny and Otto Kittel are profiled in this volume, which reveals the struggle in the face of overwhelming odds that was the lot of the Jagdflieger on the Eastern Front.
