The full story of Jasta 5, one of Germany's crack
air units in WWI, is related in graphic and meticulous detail
by Glen Merrill. Supported by many large-format photos, many b/w
sketches and all-new colour art by Robert Karr, Bob Pearson and
Ray Rimell, many 'well-known' Jasta 5 fighters appear here in
revisionist artwork for the first time - Flashar's dragon-marked
D.V; Rumey's striped Albatrosse and the enigmatic D.III of Werner
Voss, plus many more. For modellers of Albatros D.IIIs and D.Vs,
Fokker Triplanes and D.VIIs, there's enough colour data here to
keep them going for years!
