Bodenplatte: The Luftwaffe's Last Hope (Stackpole Military History Series) ReviewThis 2010 Stackpole release is a straightforward reprint of the Hikoki original published in 2004. Stackpole went with a paperback format, rearranged the photographs and chose a different paper stock, etc. Considering the original Hikoki edition sells for $125.00 for a USED copy, this isn't such a bad deal!
I'm reproducing my original review below. Make no mistake about it: This is THE definitive book on Bodenplatte!
*******
Hikoki Publications has a well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality military aviation history books.
BODENPLATTE is a perfect example of Hikoki's commitment to quality. There have been other books on the Luftwaffe's ill-fated attacks on Allied airfields on 1 January 1945, most notably Norman Frank's book, but the Manrho and Putz book must stand as the definitive book on the subject.
The depth of research in this book is truly impressive. Comments from dozens of German and Allied personnel help trace the fate of each Jagdgeschwader over France, Belgium and Holland. The book's final chapter detailing actual losses on both sides is especially helpful in showing what a pyrrhic victory Bodenplatte was for the Luftwaffe.
The book is well-illustrated with over 400 photos, including shots of Luftwaffe aircraft caught in the act of strafing Allied airfields. (I wish Hikoki had included color profiles of some of the FW 190s and Me 109s involved but that's a minor quibble).
In short, Buy this book! Military aviation history doesn't get much better than this!
