Contained within this book rare colour slides and selected black-and-white photos. This book is a unique collection of images and text. It brings together two sets of colour slides taken at Lehrgeschwader 1. One was taken by a war correspondent, the other by an observer from a particularly successful crew. Over 100 colour slides show the operations and life of the I and II Groups of LG 1 during deployment in the Mediterranean in 1941/1942. The photos show the Balkan campaign, the airborne landing on Crete, missions against Malta and in North Africa, and the attacks on ship targets. Aircraft paint schemes and markings, which until now were only known from black-and-white photos, can be seen in colour in this book. This allows many conjectures and previous information about the colours of the LG 1 aircraft can be corrected or supplemented. Colour side views show what the aircraft actually looked like. Some completely unknown gems have been discovered and provide model builders with great ideas for building Ju 88s.
Who knows about Hauptmann Helbig's aircraft with its large personal lettering? But the book does not only show the Ju 88s of LG 1. The supporting fighters and destroyer aircrafts, as well as the Stukas and other units involved in the missions, are also shown in colour and, in some cases, with rare camouflage paint schemes. The book is therefore more than just a bomber unit publication, it is rather a volume about the Mediterranean theatre of war with a focus on LG 1. The text section only briefly covers the overall events, as these have already been dealt with in other LG 1 publications. Instead, new information and diary excerpts are provided, that go beyond the current state of knowledge. It also includes biographies of the two colour photographers and the few war correspondents who photographed at LG 1.
