The book, Luftwaffe At War # 4: Eagles over North Africa and the Mediterranean is part of an illustrated series of publications that presents every aspect of the German Air Force in World War II, on all fronts and in widely varying conditions.  Contemporary photographs from archives and private collections, many published for the first time, reveal how and where the many different types of German aircraft operated.  Detailed photograph captions written by experts in military aviation provide furthor clarity regarding the subject material.  "Luftwaffe At War # 4: Eagles over North Africa and the Mediterranean" examines the situation faced by the German Luftwaffe in North Africa between 1940 and 1943.  While the Luftwaffe achieved a great deal of success there, it was continually hampered by the constant demand for men and materials elsewhere.  A crippling lack of fuel and the harsh desert conditions limited the successes the Luftwaffe may otherwise have enjoyed.  In addition to four pages of introductory text and authoritative picture captions, "Luftwaffe At War # 4: Eagles over North Africa and the Mediterranean" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 97 black and white photographs and 2) About 12 rare wartime color photographs.  This book is 72 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is Jeffrey L. Ethell.  Edition published in 1997.
