Hooton is a defence writer, who has written several books including publications for the Jane's Information Group. Among his works is Phoenix Triumphant, a book about the early history of the Luftwaffe. This study outlines the birth, development, expansion and success of the Luftwaffe, the most powerful air force in the world by 1940. Explaining how it developed despite the Allies having banned a German air force only 16 years previously, this book examines various aspects of this subject. This book, the product of much new research in military archives in Germany, France and Britain, tells the story of how Germany came to develop the Luftwaffe. Here are the secret years of German aviation up to 1935, when even the German government was misled as to the existence of training programs, while barely any effort was made to meet the Armistice demands. The author demonstrates just how well informed Allied intelligence agencies were of Luftwaffe development, but of the failure to use that intelligence correctly; how the Luftwaffe's training organization failed to improve upon the flawed system of World War One; and of the existence of a genuine strategic role for the Luftwaffe and plans to fulfill it. The story of the Luftwaffe from creation to victorious justification in war is vividly told here for the first time in detail and in one volume. Reprint edition. Presumed first edition and first printing thus.
