All versions of the Bf 109 that served in Spain are described, accompnied by illustrations from the pilot's notes; the book is illustrated with 235 photos-most never published -and technical drawings. Appendixes provide detailed descriptions of the fourteen Bf 109A fighters sent to Spain, biographies of selected pilots who served there, and a copy of J/88's victory list from the estate of a former Legion Condor fighter pilot.
