  Luftwaffe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
All aircraft in Service until early 1918 were distinguishable as being German from the Iron Cross that was being used as the German military aircraft insignia.
The aircraft was still plagued by reliability problems of its powerplants, however: while the Junkers Jumo 004 engines were of the advanced axial-flow design, they suffered from a lack of high-quality strategic materials required during the manufacturing process, a result of the Allied bombing offensive and the turn of War fortunes for Germany.
No Luftwaffe aircraft were lost during the campaign, but the force's role proved to be controversial in Germany because of the strong pacifist sentiment still present in the population that is opposed to the use of force by Germany in international affairs.

The world of flying sometimes seems like a small town where everybody knows or is connected to everybody else-until you're in a library, staring at all the books that have been written about all the people and all the inventions of that world.
For military aircraft, Hagedorn and Nicklas recommend the Putnam Aviation Series books, in particular two by Gordon Swanborough and Peter M. Bowers: United States Navy Aircraft Since 1911 (Naval Institute Press, 1990) and United States Military Aircraft Since 1909 (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1989), which covers aircraft of the Army, Army Air Forces, and Air Force.
