Böcker av Ronny Barr

Germany's fighter pilots arguably became the 'rock stars' of the Great War - flamboyant characters flying brightly-painted and often technologically advanced machines. The government created and widely promoted this image with newspaper articles, promotions, awards and even collectible cards. In reality, they were skilled servicemen who fought fiercely with courage and clever tactics against numerically superior British and French forces. Ronny Bar - German Fighters of the Great War showcases the incredible variety of colours and schemes applied to the aircraft they flew, ranging from early war Fokker Eindeckers to the last Albatros D-Vas and Junkers D-Is. Renowned profile artist Ronny Bar presents a selection of his best works in this new softback volume.

When Anthony Fokker introduced his Eindecker with its practical machine gun synchronisation system, allowing him to fire a machine gun on the line of flight between the rotating propeller blades, the true fighter aircraft was born.
