The first volume in a landmark series of the

Great War aviation books with detailed

markings of German fighter planes is out!

The first volume of a series of books dealing with the

colours of German WW I fighter aeroplanes offers an

insight into the research process of looking for the

true colours of the Fliegertruppe fighter aircraft.

A detailed presentation covering the author´s long

term research, conducted mainly in the 1970s and

80s, sheds light on the process of uncovering long

lost documentation revealing the true colours of

the aircraft and recounting the adventures of their

pilots. The book contains 58 colour profiles, many

of these not seen before, while others correct

previous misinterpretations of markings. Moreover,

some 223 photographs and 61 reproductions

of documents are published here.

Renowned historian and author Bruno Schmäling

completed this book with the cooperation of fellow

researcher Jörn Leckscheid, a long-time friend

of Eduard.

The book has been published by

Aeronaut Boooks (USA) and

is availabe worldwide from the

Amazon.com and its local

representations.
