€45.50
The 6th Bomber Wing of the Luftwaffe remains a unit still relatively little known, owing to its comparatively brief existence. It was indeed formed with great difficulty following an order of October 1941, having been conceived to support KG 2 in its sporadic harassment operations against Great Britain. Its build-up was slow and laborious due to a lack of...

Although the Vampire was designed and used as a fighter by the Armée de l'Air, this role was not to remain its exclusive domain for long. The arrival of American aircraft under the MDAP framework, and the progressive development of Marcel Dassault's fighters, overshadowed it — not least because they were more modern and simply better. A use had...
