Jagdgeschwader 53 ‘Pik-As’ Bf 109 Aces of 1940

By: Chris Goss

Boasting pilots who had been blooded in the Spanish Civil War, Jagdgeschwader 53 (JG 53) 'Pik As' or 'Ace of Spades' achieved great success in the skies over France and Britain in 1940. It was infamous amongst its opponents for the quality and calibre of its aces – men such as Werner Mölders, Hans-Karl Mayer and Rolf Pingel. These aces won numerous Knight's Crosses for their exploits in 1940, credited with 258 victories, with 51 pilots being killed or captured. This study follows these pilots of JG 53 into battle, telling the stories of their victories, losses, and ultimate fate. Containing 36 profile illustrations depicting the drastic change in appearance of their aircraft over time, and complemented by thorough research, this book is a welcome addition to Osprey's popular Aircraft of the Aces series.

Brothers in Arms

The Story of a British and a German Fighter Unit August to December 1940

By: Chris Goss

This vivid account of WWII aerial warfare follows two frontline fighter units locked in deadly combat during the Battle of Britain. This is the story of the Air Battle for England as experienced by the men of 609 (West Riding) Squadron, based in southern England, and 1/JG53, a Luftwaffe staffel based in northern France. Historian Chris Goss presents a day-by-day, blow-by-blow account that captures the tension of aerial combat, the elation of a successful ‘kill’, the tragedy of seeing a friend shot down, and the relief felt by survivors on both sides of the fight. We learn of exhausting, unremitting action, and days of frustrating weather-induced inactivity, along with those brief moments of leisure and pleasure grasped from the daily struggle for survival. What we also discover is that there was, in many regards, little difference in the experiences and reactions between the men defending king and country and those fighting for the Führer—creating a form of bond derived from those shared experiences of, indeed, brothers in arms.

Luftwaffe Aces in the Battle of Britain

By: Chris Goss

“An extraordinary analysis of the ‘scores’ chalked up by individual fighter pilots serving in the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. So much detail!” —Books Monthly The term “fighter ace” grew in prominence with the introduction and development of aerial combat in the First World War. The actual number of aerial victories required to officially qualify as an “ace” has varied but is usually considered to be five or more. For the Luftwaffe, a number of its fighter pilots, many of whom had fought with the Legion Condor in Spain, had already gained their Experte, or ace, status in the Battle of France. However, many more would achieve that status in the hectic dogfights over southern England and the Channel during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. A number would also be either killed or captured. Some of these men, individuals such as Adolf Galland, Werner Mölders, and Helmut Wick, who between them had claimed 147 aerial victories by October 31st1940, are well-known, but most are less so. In this book, the story of each of the Luftwaffe’s 204 Messerschmitt Bf 109 “aces” from the summer of 1940 is examined, with all of the individual biographies, detailing individual fates during the war, being highly illustrated throughout. Original German records from the summer of 1940, have been examined, providing a definitive list of each pilot’s individual claims. It also covers, to a lesser extent, those forgotten fifty-three Messerschmitt Bf 110 pilots who also achieved ace status by day and also by night between 10 July and 31 October 1940. “A fascinating book indeed.” —UK Historian

They Were Patriots All

By: Chris Kogias

is is the story of Kapitanios Alexis Roussos, the charismatic, ruthless and driven leader of a band of partisans operating in a mountainous region of northern Greek Macedonia, during the invasion and occupation of Greece by Italian, German, and Bulgarian armies following the outbreak of the Second World War. The story also follows the exploits of some of Alexis’s comrades in arms. There is Georgios Lambridis, the son of a wealthy and prominent Athenian family and right-hand man to Alexis, who like him, wants not only to drive the hated invaders out of Greece, but also to overthrow the “rotten” and unfair capitalistic system that is destroying Greece. Anestis Mavridis and his younger brother, Vasili, the sons of the charismatic papa Grigorious, priest of the small village of Prosotsani, are also very loyal followers of Alexis. As is Stavros Vardakis, an old war veteran who embarked on a life of violence and bloodshed after witnessing as a young boy the massacre of his whole family and village by irregular Bulgarian forces, during the violent struggles leading up to the emergence of the Greek State of Macedonia just before the outbreak of the Balkan Wars. There is also the young and very beautiful Irini Apostolou, who has a dark secret that haunts her and also Vasili, a former school friend, and which almost destroys them both. She too later joins Alexis’s band in the mountains and helps him and his men fight the German and Bulgarian forces, and also the right wing forces of Costas Grivas, the fanatic and psychotic hater of Alexis, Georgios and Anestis, who is the leader of a Security Battalion which fights for the Germans. And when the invaders are defeated and Greece is soon plunged into the throes of a catastrophic civil war that is tearing the country apart, he sets out on his own personal vandetta to destroy these men and all they stand for. Katerina Donatelis, another young female character in this story, nurses the young wounded Vasili back to health when he is wounded by Bulgarian forces near her village. She also helps him to deal with his very debilitating psychological trauma, and teaches him the meaning of true love.
