Messerschmitt Me 262

Description

This superb monograph devoted to the the Messerschmitt Me 262 discusses its origins and development with detailed coverage of changes made in all its variants and sub-variants, including the special modifications for the foreign recipients. The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first jet-powered fighter aircraft and proved to be an impossibly fast adversary in the skies of Germany. Its late introduction to the battlefield during WWII means that this spectacular jet never realised its full potential. This volume includes many rare colour profile artworks, detailing the impressive fighter. About Monographs Monographs focuses on an individual type of aircraft. Each monograph contains descriptions of the aircraft's origin, its variants and combat history. Each volume includes several hundred archive photographs, technical scale drawings and colour profile artwork.

Kagero are in my view at the forefront of producing excellent books using new computer generated 3D colour illustrations, and they back them up with well researched text, good archive photos that support the rest of the book and make this a fascinating addition to your bookcase for aircraft enthusiasts and modellers alike. * www.militarymodelling.com *
