One of the most successful of the high-scoring Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader during World War 2, JG 54 'Grünherz' (Green Hearts) was formed from three disparate fighter 'Gruppen' immediately prior to the Battle of Britain. Having enjoyed immediate success over the Channel and South-east England during the summer of 1940, the unit was transferred to the Eastern Front in the spring of 1941 in preparation for Operation Barbarossa the German invasion of the Soviet Union. JG 54 would remain a Jagdwaffe stalwart in the east, flying firstly Bf 109Fs and then the Fw 190. By war's end, the Geschwader's pilots had claimed over 9500 kills, and produced over 100 aces. Men like Hans Philipp, Walter Nowotny and Otto Kittel are profiled in this volume, which reveals the struggle in the face of overwhelming odds that was the lot of the Jagdflieger on the Eastern Front.

From the Publisher
"A lovely Book for Self-Care"
"I liked this so much I purchased another for my sister. There's an index where you can look up an affirmation for what you need at the moment or you can use your intuition to open the book to an affirmation (my favourite way to use the book).
This isn't a book of one-liners or quotes. Each affirmation has three sections: Define, Exercise and Journal. So not only do you get a positive affirmation but you also receive ways to understand it, question it within yourself and how to incorporate it into your life. In this way, you will feel the affirmation and live it rather than just read a quote that you'll later forget completely."
"What's not to Love?"
"Love this book have bought it twice and ended up giving both away to people who needed it. Will be buying another AGAIN for myself. :) Love her daily affirmations on Instagram too!!"
