5.0 out of 5 stars Best Late "Dora and Ta 152" referance., February 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Focke-Wulf Ta 152: The Story of the Luftwaffe's Late-War, High-Altitude Fighter (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)

Very good work. Good amount of technical, as well as personnel information. Great photos and performance charts are a nice addition. This is, so far the best "single referance" for these aircraft that I've purchased of nearly a dozen.

This review is from: Focke-Wulf Ta 152: The Story of the Luftwaffe's Late-War, High-Altitude Fighter (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)

Finding information on this plane is not that easy. Of all the books I have bought on the 152 this is the best. I highly recommend this book to any TA-152 enthusiast.

This review is from: Focke-Wulf Ta 152: The Story of the Luftwaffe's Late-War, High-Altitude Fighter (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)

This is the aircraft that has a special place in my heart ( beautiful lines ). Dietmar Hermann has written 3 great books on the fighter and they cover the Focke Wulf 190A, the Focke Wulf 190D and this book, the TA 152. Fascinating to follow the development of this great aircraft in these 3 books. They are all well documented, many high quality photo's and drawings, very accurate descriptions and you will even find the original factory drawings. In my opinion these 3 books belong together on your bookshelf.

I'm happy they are on mine !
