**_Defenders of the Reich This book tells the story of the Luftwaffe's desperate defense of the Third Reich in the face of the escalating Allied air attack during World War II. Operation Defense of the Reich (Reichsverteidigung) was a fateful campaign, as the Luftwaffe's best fighter pilots sought to protect German airspace from increasingly numerous formations of RAF and USAAF medium and heavy bombers. Jagdflieger pilots, flying piston-engined aircraft, and later the first Defenders of the Reich focuses on the story of the pilot, his aircraft, his weapons, and his arduous and dangerous missions, as well as the Luftwaffe's tactics against US Air Force and RAF bombers, from the summer of 1942 until D-Day in Europe American and British Air Force fighters arrayed themselves in the air, and their airfields were targeted by devastating air attacks. Leading Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth uses German and Allied archival documents, as well as interviews with former Luftwaffe pilots, to tell the history of this last air campaign from the perspective of the Luftwaffe.
