fighter aircraft.
Operational and technical history of Germany's World War II jet
bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.
Covers all German heavy bomber models used during WWII.
This new book is a detailed survey and a anew perspective on the
development of Luftwaffe aircraft from 1935-1945. Special emphasis
has been placed on details of weaponry, equipment and other areas
that have up to now been inadequately covered. Many readers will
therefore be rewarded with new insights into the area of German
aircraft development, as well as the logistics of the Luftwaffe
flying units.\nThe book is organized into the basic elements of the
German Lutfwaffe - presenting training, pilot operations and ground
crews, the individual development steps during aircraft
construction, testing, pre-production models, production and
finally combat usage. Numerous examples of weapons and supplemental
armament, as well as diverse weapons systems and ordinance can be
found throughout.\nManfred Griehl and Joachim Dressel are also the
authors of Luftwaffe Airfield Equipment (available from Schiffer
Publishing).
Volume II on the Me 262 with emphasis on the units that flew it.
Number 4 in the Luftwaffe Profile Series describes the design and
use of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
Covers He 111, Ju 88, Do 17, Do 217, Me 410, Ju 388 et al.
The famed Luftwaffe bomber in its late model designation is
presented here in photographs, color profiles and detailed line
drawings.
This thought-provoking book examines the Nazi German plans to raid
and bomb New York and the eastern seabord in the event of a
successful invasion of the Soviet Union. The plans rested upon the
use of transoceanic aircraft, such as the six-engined Ju 390, Me
264 or Ta 400. The Third Reich was unable to produce these machines
in sufficient numbers, however, if the Soviet Union had been
conquered, these plans would have become a reality. With the
seizure of vital resources from the Soviet Union the Wehrmacht
would have had enough fuel and material to mass-produce giant
bomber aircraft: it was a near-run thing. The collapse of the
Wehrmacht infrastructure and the premature end of the Thousand Year
Reich ensured that plans for long-range remote-controlled missiles
never got past the drawing board. This fascinating, thoroughly
researched study offers valuable insights into how Germany
developed new weapons and shows why the attempts to develop long
range bombers were frustrated until they were terminated by the end
of hostilities. Includes more than a hundred rarely seen
photographs and original plans.
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.
