Product Description

Product Description

The Third Reich's last ditch efforts to combat the massed Allied bomber formations centred around the new jet-powered "wonder weapons" that were issued to the Jagdwaffe from mid-1944 onwards. Far in advance of anything the Allies had even in experimental phase, types such as the Me 262, He 162 and 163, and the Ar 234 could perform their combat sorties with relative impunity. Detailing both the planes and the pilots, this volume looks at the handful of pilots who amassed amazing scores in the last year of the war with these aircraft, flying with units like JG 7, JV 44 and NJG 6.

Inspiring 15 May 2001
Format:Paperback
As the rest of the Osprey "Aircraft of the Aces" books this is a fluidly written book with lots of photographs and colour profiles that inspire modelling projects. That one has to look to additional sources to get more definitive and detailed information is OK with me.

Format:Paperback
Very good book with a comprehensive history of the ME262 and the difficulties encountered in trying to manufacture it, when the leadership didn't see it's potential. Numerous photo's of the jet aces including Galland, Bar, Buchner and others. Would recommend it if you are interested in your WW II aircraft and the guys who flew them.
