Formed in February 1945, the unit grew out of Hitler's bizarre decision that the Me 262 jet fighter should be used as a bomber, despite its potential in the daylight defensive battles over the Reich. Seen as a grave mistake by Göring, a small fighter unit was formed in southern Germany to 'prove' the Me 262's ability as an interceptor. Formed with some of Germany's most experienced fighter pilots, Jagdverband 44 numbered a disproportionately high number of leading aces in its ranks, to the extent that it was said that the Knights' Cross was the unofficial badge of the unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith numerous first-hand accounts from pilots and detailed colour profiles, this book is a fascinating account of the dramatic birth of the jet fighter and the impact it had during the bitter struggles of 1944-45.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-15\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003eCHAPTER ONE\u003cbr\u003eHEROES OR OUTCASTS?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO\u003cbr\u003eFORMING UP\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eCHAPTER THREE\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eBATS OUT OF HELL\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eCHAPTER FOUR\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eRED AND WHITE RIDDLE\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eCHAPTER FIVE\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eMOUNTAIN KINGS\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eAPPENDICES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eCOLOUR PLATES COMMENTARY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eINDEX\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book is \u003cstrong\u003eOLD NEW STOCK,\u003c\/strong\u003e an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.
