In this superb illustrated guide, renowned German aviation
specialist Manfred Griehl has collected a unique and valuable
selection of photographs of Luftwaffe projects that never made it
into battle. They remained on the drawing board or at prototype
stage either because they were deemed unsuitable or the developers
simply ran out of time and the projects never went into production.
There are examples of Fw190s developed for the delivery of chemical
and toxic weapons, the high altitude Junkers EF 61, the early
prototype WNF 342 helicopter as well as numerous examples of
developmental jet fighters that could very well have been realised
had it not been for the effectiveness of the Allied bombing
campaign in restricting the supply of necessary materials. Much of
this development work went on to have an important influence on
aircraft design in both the East and the West after the Second
World War, making this book an essential source not just for those
interested in Hitler's Luftwaffe but also in the history of
military aviation in general.
