Regarded as one of the great automotive engineers of the twentieth
century, Ferdinand Porsche is well remembered today for his
remarkable automotive designs including the Volkswagen Beetle and
Auto Union Grand Prix cars. Yet there is another side to his
extraordinary career, for he was an equally inventive designer of
military vehicles and machinery. In this field too he excelled.
Indeed the sheer versatility of his contribution is astonishing.
Karl Ludvigsen s study is the definitive guide. He tells the
complete story, focusing on Porsche s relations with the German
armed forces and on the stream of advanced designs he was
responsible for. Included are Austro Daimler s pioneering aero
engines, the Kubelwagen, Schwimmwagen, Type 100 Leopard tank,
Ferdinand or Elefant tank destroyer and the astounding Type 205
Maus tank. He also describes Porsche s creative work on aero
engines, tank engines and even a turbojet for the V-1 flying bomb.
Karl Ludvigsen s account confirms the preeminence of Ferdinand
Porsche as a brilliant and prolific engineer, one of the most
remarkable of his generation. "
