The study of the Luftwaffe during World War II is still of enormous interest to aviation enthusiasts and modelers. While much has been published on the subject, this will assert a strong claim to be the definitive study of that most complex and fascinating subject, the Luftwaffe’s colors and markings. Ken Merrick has researched this area for 20 years and has uncovered much new information which is published here for the first time. The detailed text provides evidence to challenge a number of previously accepted theories. This volume contain over 300 photographs, many in color, as well as diagrams and artwork.

The German Stahlhelm is perhaps the most recognizable image of World War II (1939-1945). Manufactured in its millions, it was used or copied by many countries. It is still one of the most collected relics of the war; but despite its relative availability, prices have reached levels that challenge collectors to protect themselves by acquiring in-depth knowledge. This book, by a collector of 30 years’ standing, offers a detailed masterclass in the patterns, component parts and finishes of the combat helmets used by the German Army, Navy and Air Force. It is illustrated with a superb selection of rare period photos, colour photos of collected examples, and striking colour paintings.
