SECRET: NEW BOOK RELEASE
🕑 Added 2021-08-04 16:21:40 +0000 UTCHey,
Today is the day - my new book is now in crowdfunding! You can watch the announcement above or go directly to the Indiegogo site here: http://stukabook.com (The public release is still an hour or two away, so this is fresh, hot off the press with you the first ones to know.)
This is my first book as the main author and I could not be more excited :)
As announced previously, the book is an unprecedented look at the doctrine, tactics and operational experiences the Luftwaffe had with the Junkers Ju 87, based on 8 translated original documents. To quote our campaign, these documents include:
- A full organizational breakdown of a Sturzkampfgeschwader (Dive-Bomber Group), giving a complete look at the structure of a unit. This is accompanied with a visualization chart for quick reference that reflects a full Geschwader (Group) from the individual over to the complete unit.
- The original training manual on how to dive-bomb with the Junkers Ju 87, illustrated with more than a dozen graphs and visualizations that provide you with a fantastic representation of the given examples.
- A full original description of the tasks and roles of dive-bombers in the Luftwaffe, giving you the full picture on how the Germans conceptualized the role of the Junkers Ju 87 during World War 2.
- Ju 87s against motorized columns - how does this work? Look no further than the pamphlet on the use of dive-bomber units against motorized ground forces, foreshadowing the use of the Ju 87 in the campaigns against Poland, France and the Soviet Union.
- Night bombing in the Ju 87? Yes, it's possible as the notice on the special guidelines on night dive-bombing with the Ju 87 will show!
- and much more.
If you are interested in my book, check out the Indiegogo campaign running until the end of this month.

I might be biased but I really like the cover art myself :)
I might have to get it just for the awesome cover art, even if I know very little about the ju 87!
I'm sure it's going to be a great book, can't wait to read it. Would have been cool to see the German originals as well so I can practice my German, though I don't think dive-bombing is something that is part of the curriculum for German...anymore...

John, thank you so much for backing it (and so early!) Looking good so far, hoping we can push it into the stretch goals for more chapters as well!
Congratulations, Chris! I just signed up for my "perk" as backer #49. Here's hoping you and Bernard get the funding needed to make this drive a success!

Okay I'm the fifth backer. As an American this means I expect special attention for this. You know how we are. That means constant DM's in my Twitter account telling me how awesome I am. Maybe mentions in the videos. You know the usual. Seriously once again congrats to the two of you. I watch each of your videos every week once they are released and look forward to reading this next year when it arrives.
