Kurzbeschreibung
Of all the fronts fought on by the Jagdflieger during World War 2, the Russian, or Eastern, was easily the most lucrative in terms of targets for the experten. Marry an abundance of targets with the Luftwaffe’s best piston-engined fighter of the war – Focke-Wulf’s Fw 190 ‘Butcher Bird’ – and it quickly becomes apparent why so many Jagdflieger achieved kills that passed the 100 victories mark. Flying in variable weather on a battlefront that was constantly changing, the Fw 190 pilots fought virtually to extinction in both the pure fighter and the crucial Schlacht ground attack roles.
Synopsis
The Focke-Wulf FW190 was the Luftwaffe's best piston-engined fighter and on the Russian front they had an abundance of targets, both in the air and on the ground. Many of its pilots passed the 100 victories mark. This book looks at both the plane and the aces who flew it.

A RICHLY FASCINATING STORY OF THE FW-190 ON THE OSTFRONT
17. Oktober 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Osprey has produced a first-class book on what was, arguably, one of the finest, most versatile fighter planes to see combat in the Second World War. The Focke-Wulf 190 was rugged, capable of taking enormous punishment in combat (the chapter describing the service of FW-190s in the Schlachtgruppen bears this out), and excelled at low to medium-level altitudes, which was typical of aerial combat on the Ostfront.
This book offers an excellent overview of the operating and handling characteristics of the FW-190. And it also provides interesting accounts by some of the pilots who flew the FW-190 on the Ostfront.

Like the Fw 190, in a class of its own.
3. Mai 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
The sixth in the outstanding Osprey "Aircraft of the Aces" series, "Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Aces of the Eastern Front" details the ilustrious service and operational record of Kurt Tank's "butcher bird" in the East, from its combat debut with I./JG 51 in the autumn of '42 to the the final (?) 190 "kill" on the Eastern Front (8 May 1945) by a II./JG 54 pilot escaping to the West with his mechanic tucked away in the tiny fuselage compartment!
Stylishly, the book, another of John Weal's brilliant servings, begins with this astonishing incident and closes with a crafty re-working of it. In between is a well-documented history accompanied by expertly collated photographs, colour plates and planforms of this magnificent thoroughbred of Goering's Luftwaffe.
Early in the text, the reader is introduced to the handling characteristics of the 190 alongside I./JG 51 whose task it was to take the new fighter into battle against a resurgent VVS on the Northern and Central sectors of the Eastern Front. From this chapter, the reader gets some very interesting insights into what those hectic days of familiarisation were like as the entire text is awash with the personal anecdotes and eye-witness accounts of those pilots who undertook the training course. This is exactly what makes the book such a compelling read: the author does not allow you a moment's respite, but keeps you strapped and bound in the cockpit. You are there, in your JG 54 mount, scanning the skies of Mother Russia for that Soviet La-5FN or Yak-9D that is also stalking you somewhere in the billowing cunulus. Or you are with a tank-busting "Schlachtgeswader" - the "Slaughter Wings" - above the chaos of Prokhorovka in the high summer of '43, selecting your next victim among the massed formations of T-34s of 5th Guards Tank Army as they hurtle towards II SS Panzer Corps and eternity.
I have read some scathing critiques of the Osprey aviation/military series, however I could find little to fault this title except a dearth of information on the Fw 190D's record viz-a viz the VVS.
Whatever your opinion is of the books of this series, give this one a read if you are a military aviation enthusiast.
Believe me, you will be glad you did!

Luftwaffe at the bloodiest war ever!
6. Februar 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
This book gives a general idea of the situation German pilots had to face every day on the Russian Front and highlights the best German propeller-driven fighter of the war. The author deserves congratulation in writing a book about a subject that is hard to find. We all know tha the wiiners tak it all, and to find good boks about the other side is difficult. I
