Notes

A detailed illustrated history of Jagdverband 44, the elite late-war Luftwaffe jet unit formed and led by Adolf Galland in 1945. The book traces the group’s creation, operations with the Messerschmitt Me 262, and final actions over southern Germany before surrender.

Drawing on pilot interviews, unit records, and rare photographs, Forsyth reconstructs the short, intense life of this “circus” of veteran fighter aces, and a foreword by Walter Krupinski. It remains the definitive study of Galland’s legendary jet fighter squadron.
