REGENSBURG - No Place To Hide (7 Sig JG26 Edition) by Mark Postlethwaite

REGENSBURG - NO PLACE TO HIDE

RARE 'JG26 Edition' Signed by 7 Pilots

The strike against the twin targets of Regensburg and Schweinfurt on 17th August 1943 saw some of the most instense air fighting of the war. The B-17 crews were flying deep into Southern Germany and well beyond the range of any escort fighters. Waiting for them will be deadly Flak and the fighter pilots of some of the most famous Units in the Luftwaffe. None had a finer reputation than JG26, which had battled exclusively on the Western Front against the ever-growing might of the RAF and USAAF.

Mark Postlethwaite pays tribute to the pilots of JG26 depicting a pair of Me109G's from 9./JG26 as they make a ferocious head-on attack at B-17's of the famed 100th Bomb Group. The Messerschmitts carry additional 20mm gun packs under the wings to increase their firepower against the heavily armoured 'Forts'
