This Osprey book about WW2 Luftwaffe uniforms and equipment reviewed by Fred Rick Boucher (JPTRR) will prove useful for modelers, re-enactors and historians. Well worth the purchase price it expands, illustrates, clarifies and corrects many preceding offerings about the subject.

AFAIK this is a re-release?

This book is part of my collection, and I must say I found it extremely useful for FLaK crew uniforms for figure reviews.

I dissagree with the following point in the review:

"My only complaint is that there are no suggestions for simulating colors with popular model paints."

This is not one of Osprey's "Modelling" titles, so I see no reason why they would want to include modelling paint references.

Thanks for the review.
