Description: From mid-1943, Allied bombing raids over Germany increased in number and severity. The Luftwaffe night fighter aces--using new technology and tactics--managed to cut short the winter 1943/44 raids over Berlin, but by March 1945 the Nachtjagd was in terminal decline. Fully illustrated, this account of the Nachtjagd, 1943-45, features pilots' accounts.
