Unfortunately I have to agree with the previous reviewer. While this is in parts an interesting look at the type the lack of any decent text does nothing to invite a purchase. In addition many of the photos are poorly reproduced - which won't help the modellers - and most have been sourced from the usual archives - JV Crow etc - so there is little new here either.

Format:Paperback
A superb collection of photographs which is mired by the sheer lack of any decent information about the actual aircraft.
Theres a breif synopsis of its uses and types but nothing about the designer, components or performances.
This would be an excellent buy for a modeller but for those more interested in the technichal side of the FW190 it will not be much use im afraid.There are some colour photos but mostly black and white.This book is perhaps more suited for youngsters with an interest in the aircraft of WW2 and want a more pictorial reference

Good Pictorial History.
27 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
This book contains many historical Black & White photos of the FW190 in service between 1939 and 1943. 90% of the book is dedicated to photos. Most of the information provided is written descriptions to support the photos.
The best use of this book is for those in need of FW190 pictures to support a modeling paint scheme or other historical art requirements.

I DON'T LIKE BOOKS LIKE THESE.
29 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
I don't like books like these about WW II fighter aviation, because it seems to me that the only (although noble and hard) job the writer had to do was to scrap a pile of photos and then discover who is photographed in each photo. There's no action, no coherent chain of events describing the real value and the characters of the men who flew the Butcher Bird in WW II.
