隨著空中的數點星火墜落，制霸著第二次大戰中的天際，囊括空戰世界前三名王牌駕駛員的座機，劃過戰火時代的王者是誰？德國航空工業如何的超脫時代的枷鎖，以看似不可能的理想，卻造就了無人能抹煞的歷史？
第二次世界大戰時期，德國的航空技術可說是居世界領導地位，本書收錄其中最經典的戰鬥機，將各式德國空軍戰鬥機依照研發年代、種別分類，藉此清楚解說它們與競標原型機之間的關係以及登場時代。
在首章的彩頁中，會介紹現存於世界各國博物館裡的主要德國空軍戰鬥機細節，機體構造方面，會以主要機型為例，分別解說主翼、機身、發動機等部分，並附有各主要量產機型的精密三面圖，以淺顯易懂的方式介紹各機型的研發、運用以及戰績，關於各種與戰鬥機有關的專業術語，也另闢專欄詳細解說。
全書最後則為飛機與飛行員/地勤人員一起在戰場上拍攝的相片集錦，歷史寫真跨越了時代的真實，重現出當時的氛圍，記錄著那無以匹敵的神情。

The Fw 190 was the scourge of Fighter Command from the moment it appeared on the Western Front at Abbeville in August 1941 with II./JG 26. A nimble, speedy and well-armed adversary, the ‘Butcher Bird’ quickly proved superior to all Allied fighters of the time, particularly at medium to low altitude. Led by Experten of the calibre of 'Pips' Priller, Heinz Bar and Walter Oesau, the handful of Fw 190-equipped Jagdgeschwader flew against overwhelming odds, firstly on the Channel coast, and then in direct defence of the Reich when the Jagdflieger took on the might of the USAAF’s Eighth and Ninth Air Forces. This is their story.

全书共计三十万字，近百张珍贵照片。是根据“红鹰”中队69名飞行员中的31人的回忆整理而成，作者史蒂夫戴维斯收集整理了65个小时的采访录音，并查阅了与之相关的所有现存官方解密资料。
主要内容
“红鹰中队”是美国空军一支用于模拟苏联空军的对抗训练中队，其属于美军的Constant Peg项目，该项目曾是美国军方的高度机密，而红鹰中队更是其机密核心。1988年，红鹰中队解散，实际上是融入到了美军每年一度的红旗军演。2006年，美国空军公开承认曾在拉斯维加斯西北部的托诺帕试验靶场使用苏制战机进行训练和研究工作。随后，4名曾参与该项目的飞行员也结束了数十年的沉默，向公众媒体透露相关信息。自此，传闻中的Constant Peg项目和美国空军4477红鹰测试评估中队终于得到证实。
该书详细介绍了从1968-1988年，红鹰中队的创立、发展过程、机构设置、重大事件……。全面揭示了美国空军这一曾经的最高机密的神秘面纱。对于全面了解当代美空军训练模式和战术规范的形成，有着重要的作用

In June 1940, the German Army had brought the rest of Europe to its knees. 'Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world will move forward into broad, sunlit uplands,' said Churchill. The future of Europe depended on Britain. A self-confident Herman Goring thought that it would be only a matter of weeks before his planes had forced Britain to surrender. The courage, resourcefulness and brilliant organisation of the RAF were to prove him wrong. By late September 1940, the RAF had proved invincible, thanks to the Vickers Supermarine Spitfire. It exceeded anything that any other air force possessed. RJ Mitchell, a shy and almost painfully modest engineer, was the genius behind the Spitfire. On the 5th March 1936, following its successful maiden flight, a legend was born. Prize-winning historian Leo McKinstry's vivid history of the Spitfire brings together a rich cast of characters and first hand testimonies. It is a tale full of drama and heroism, of glory and tragedy, with the main protagonist the remarkable plane that played a crucial role in saving Britain.
