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.

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 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 !

Kurt Tank is one of Germany's most famous aircraft designers. Creator of the FW-190, this plane was the logical development to meet the challenges of Allied P-51 and Spitfires. This fast, heavily armed aircraft was available for production as early as April, 1944, but only 43 were built. It was too late to change the war either way, but the Germans would have made the Allied cost much higher.

This is an excellent book. High quality glossy pages, clear B&W photos, tons of line drawings. There are photos of the interior, engine, statistics and data that shed light on this warplane. The narrative gives you a good insight to the history of the development of the plane from 1939-1945.

Only drawbacks - no color plates and some of the technical documents are in German -In a book this price, Shchiffer Publishing should fix this.

There are more famous aircraft of the war, war winners produced in greater numbers. But this is a real tribute to the potential of the German Aviation industry. I highly recommend this book for all serious aviation buffs.

Wow, oh my God Wow, this book is as complete you can come, great photos, incredible detailed blueprints and operational stories, if you love this plane get this book now is a jewel for all luftwaffe aficionados.

It's all here. The definitive series on this great fighter plane the Fw-190, culminating in the Ta-152. A necessary addition to your library.

book was ok. could have been more on it. but being a late war plane. author did the best he could with what he had to work with.
