Historie

This pictorial history shows the full extent of captured foreign aircraft used by Nazi Germany during WWII.

No air force in the Second World War would make more use of captured planes than the Luftwaffe. With this in mind, military historian Jean-Louis Roba has tracked down hundreds of such aircraft with rare images that illustrate their uses, careers, and eventual fates. Foreign Planes in the Service of the Luftwaffe covers the complete history of this practice from its inception in the prewar years to the end of the Second World War.

Roba’s significant research on the topic debunks myths about how prepared for war the Germans were in 1939. This volume demonstrates how important captured planes—a decidedly unreliable resource—would become to the Luftwaffe. Translated into English for the first time, Roba’s investigative work is supported by more than a hundred pictures of the planes themselves, and gives a rare opportunity to see British and American planes repainted in German colors and symbols.
