Nachtjagd Combat Archive - Eastern Front and Mediterranean

Red Kite announces the launch of an additional part of the hugely popular Nachtjagd Combat Archive series which covers German night fighter operations on the Eastern and Mediterranean fronts. It is one of the first books to cover this subject in detail and applies the same research standards as the rest of the series at 144 pages.

The Nachtjagd Combat Archive series itself is perhaps the largest WWII aviation project ever published, at over 1.3 million words with over 1200 original photos, 70% of which are unpublished.

Simply put, the NCA Master Series is a comprehensive record of over 6,000 Luftwaffe night fighter claims and over 2,100 Flak claims which have been painstakingly compared to RAF Bomber Command losses, which has identified more than 95% of them. This means that for the first time ever, the fate of the vast majority of RAF Bomber Command casualties can be clearly understood with the exact locations, times and identities of the pilots or Flak units responsible for shooting them down.

This wealth of information has been brought to life with over 1,200 original photos, comprehensive summaries of each night's operations, and compelling first-hand accounts from Luftwaffe night fighter pilots who were often the only last-minute witnesses. thousands of RAF airmen. The books are further enhanced with maps that detail crash sites and the routing of RAF bombers for selected raids.
