Dans le ciel de France, JG 2 Richtoffen - Part.01. 1935/1940.

Volume 1 of a comprehensive history of the 'Jagdgeschwader of the aces'. Covering the period from 1919 that led to the establishment of JG 2 and the subsequent deployment of the Richthofen in the Westfeldzug through the Battle of Britain to December 1940, 'In the skies of France' presents a day by day chronology and many new first hand accounts, detailing for the first time the story of the Richthofen's operations from Beaumont-le-Roger, Bernay, Cherbourg, Octeville, Théville, Couvron, St. Quentin, Signy, Evreux, Cézanne, Calais, Oye, Monceau St Vaast... among others. Written and researched over a twenty year period, the authors (co-written with Roba and Goss) have unearthed long-lost period documents and letters home and also enlisted support & contributions from veterans who have never previously collaborated with Luftwaffe authors and researchers such as Erich Rudorffer, who has written the foreword.. Approx 300 pages, 400 photos - many new to me - profile artwork and maps. French language text.
