BOOK REVIEW: Night Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe 1943-45

Authors: Neil Page and Jean-Louis Roba

Softcover (6.7×9.3 inches). 128 pages. 2025.

This overview of nightfighter operations offers the usual format of timeline, mini-bios, OOBs, and battles. First-person accounts from aces pepper the text, supplemented by the usual and much appreciated illustrations: 109 black and white photos, two color photos, and eight color camouflage aircraft profiles.

As WWII progressed, the nightfighter efforts increased, but like the rest of the German military, Allied numbers told no matter how heroic the defense or superior the technological advances.

Enjoyed it.
