Developed from one of the finest fighters of World War 2, the Luftwaffe's radial-engined Fw 190 Sturmjäger was conceived as a heavy assault aircraft and armed accordingly. Its mission was to counter the increasing numbers of USAAF B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombers attacking targets in the western and central Reich. This book explores the highly dangerous close-range missions carried out by the men who flew the Sturmjäger. Some were skilled aces, others were fresh from training schools and a number were volunteers willing to sign an oath vowing to bring down a bomber at all costs - even if it meant ramming the enemy aircraft. Using first-hand accounts, archival photographs and full-colour illustrations, maps and tactical diagrams, Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth puts readers in the cockpit of a Sturmjäger defending the Fatherland from USAAF bombers protected by powerful Allied escort fighters. Tactical ribbon diagrams, Battlescene artwork, Armament views, Fully illustrated throughout
