With striking wrap-around dustwrapper artwork by Chris Thomas. Jagdgeschwader 26 is undoubtedly the best-known Luftwaffe fighter squadron of WWII. One of only two units to remain on the Western Front throughout the entire war, its operational record, available here for the first time, directly reflects the history of the German fighter arm, the Luftwaffe as a whole, and indeed Germany itself.
