For the historian, enthusiast or modeller, this unprecedented pictorial guide to German aviation in World War Two is outstanding value.

Review:

This is really a book for the enthusiast or aero modeller looking for photographic reference material. It quite "dry" and technical in it's writing style and the broad range of aircraft tackled tends to make it a fairly brief introduction to the particular type. I bought mine secondhand (twice, once it lost it's way from the US!) and the second time the book reeked of smoke. The last days of the Reich photos are always interesting though. Hope this review helps you a little more. --Prof. Actualfactual

I am a aircraft modeler, and I think that our biggest problem is to find relliable data about any kind of aircraft. This book is wonderfull on that particular subject. It shows in a variety of photos several of that valuable details that we so much appreciate. It tell us about every model variant, the production numbers, the attack and defensive weapons used, etc... I think this book is a must have to any fan or modeler of World War II aircraft. To the authors, keep the good work... --James West
