This book provides the first complete history of the air attacks mounted against Scotland by Nazi Germany during World War Two.It is a detailed examination of the strategy, tactics and politics involved on both sides, together with a technical critique of the weaponry employed by both attackers and defenders.From the relentless hit-and-run attacks up the east coast to the calamities of Clydebank and Greenock, Luftwaffe over Scotland not only offers a detailed analysis of exactly what happened, but also provides fresh new evidence and claims regarding many aspects of the war in Scotland - some of them specifically at odds with the more traditional portrayals of World War Two.
