5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for military aviation enthusiasts, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
If you have "Luftwaffe Secret Projects-fighters," by Walter Schick and Ingolf Meyer, this complementary volume on Strategic bombers is a "must have." The book is well written and brings to light a number of previously unseen aircraft designs. The presentation is typical of current Midland books and the illustrations are first rate. I particularly liked the background information on Luftwaffe officials and company designers, often accompanied by rare photographs that put faces to names. There are a few anomalies to be found, such as Chapter Eight, which briefly diverts onto tactical bombers. To my way of thinking, the word "Strategic," should have been left off the main title. You will also find a few gaps here and there, with little information on the advanced Arado 234 proposals (prior to E.560) or the various plans to use this jet as a launch platform for the Fi 103 flying bomb. Two other notable omissions are the Sanger spaceplane and the manned A-9 rocket, which were both serious long range bomber proposals for use against North American targets. I hope there are plans to bring out a third volume which deals with German WW11 ramjet and rocket powered designs. Everything said, this is an excellent piece of work and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in military aviation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent illustrations, 22 April 2004
Thumbing through this book is like reading a 1950s pulp science fictioncomic: pictures and illustrations of wildly exotic aircraft abound. Itchronicles Nazi Germany's remarkable scientific achievements in the fieldof aviation, the emphasis of course being the bomber projects.
Most of these projects thankfully never left the wind tunnel (if they evengot that far), let alone front line use, but the Luftwaffe's enormousinfluence on the combat aircraft today can be traced among the pages ofthis excellent book.
