The men; Greg VanWyngarden has a long an illustrious career as being the most prolific publisher of WWI German aviation histories. His faithful adherance to facts has earned him a place of trust among private collectors. Greg does it again with an impressive and detailed treatment . The profiles by Harry Dempsey are of the highest calibre. . ."
Greg himself commented recently, ". . .For the record, there are 125 photos in the book, 36 profiles and four planform views. With such a well-known unit as Jasta Boelcke, it''s inevitable that some of the profiles have been published before in other Osprey works. However, the majority are new (and even most of the "old" ones have been revamped and improved just a bit). Anyone is welcome to complain about the re-use of profiles, but I would challenge them to come up with new and accurate Jasta 2/ Boelcke profiles in their stead. . ."
