Luftwaffe at War Series Vol. 14
Griehl. This photo-essay, one of a 21-volume series, covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II, examining the men and the aircraft they flew as it charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. This softbound, 72 pg. volume contains 106 B&W photos along with 8 pages of color and measures 7"x 10".
As the Allies intensified their bombing of the Third Reich, the Luftwaffe's conventional fighters seemed taxed to their very limit, making the sudden appearance of rocket aircraft, when Major Spate attacked a P-47 over northern Germany in May 1944, the advent of Germany's last hope.
This volume presents extremely rare photos of Germany's rocket planes and vividly captures the wartime career of the Third Reich's secret weapons. Using images taken during the war of aircraft under development and in the field, this comprehensive study examines the rocket planes' appearance and markings and the pilots who flew and tested the aircraft. The book covers the Me 163B ('Komet'), Me 163BV1, Me 163AV4, and also examines a number of key experimental planes the Me 262 C and the 'Natter', for example.
