Organised chronologically by type, German Bomber Aircraft of World War II: 1939–45 by Thomas Newdick presents a compact, highly illustrated survey of the Luftwaffe’s bomber, ground‑attack, transport, seaplane and rotary‑wing types across the war. It traces development and operational roles from early‑war types such as the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka and Dornier Do 17 that fought in Poland to late‑war machines like the Arado Ar 234, Heinkel He 177 and specialised Ju 88 variants, while highlighting both iconic models (He 111, Fw 200 Condor) and obscure types (Blohm & Voss Bv 141, He 111H‑2 V‑1 launcher), with attention to camouflage, markings and the chronological evolution of German bomber aviation.
Published by Amber Books Limited (ISBN 9781782749714), this technical reference is designed for historians, modellers and WWII aviation enthusiasts: it features 110 full‑colour profile artworks, authentic markings and colour schemes for each model, exhaustive technical specifications, a glossary and index, and a highly illustrated layout that makes it both a practical modelling guide and a concise reference work on Luftwaffe bomber equipment 1939–45.

You’ve reached the divisional archives.

Our collection ranges from technical specs and biographies to rare photo journals and historical novels.
Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
