Fortunately for the Luftwaffe, the \u003ci\u003eWilde Sau\u003c\/i\u003e concept of defending point targets using single-engined fighters was already in existence and would become the cornerstone of the night defence of Germany during the summer and autumn of 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this new study, Martin Streetly details the origins, tactics and implementation of \u003ci\u003eWilde Sau\u003c\/i\u003e, exploring its successes and failures through the experiences of pilots who flew Bf 109s, Fw 190s, and Me 262s into combat against Lancaster and Halifax heavy bombers. First-hand accounts of \u003ci\u003eWilde Sau\u003c\/i\u003e missions are brought to life through archival photographs and newly commissioned artworks of some of the most iconic German fighters of World War 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852709679340,"sku":"9781472861948","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10757003482712.jpg?v=1759160973","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/wilde-sau-nightfighters-by-martin-streetly-9781472861948","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
