Luftwaffe Bomber to Nightfighter: Volume I

Arnold Döring recounts his Luftwaffe service from bomber operations to night-fighter combat, describing training, aircraft, crews and missions within Nazi Germany’s air war. The memoir provides a participant’s view of how operational demands changed as the Luftwaffe moved from offensive bombing to defence against the growing Allied bomber campaign.

The volume is edited by Thomas Baumert and includes a foreword by James Holland; it is not a sole-authored James Holland book. Döring’s recollections are placed within the wider collapse of German air power and the moral context of service to the Nazi state, while retaining the technical detail of flying and combat.
