5.0 out of 5 stars
A first class reference source.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Hamlyn Concise Guide to Axis Aircraft of World War II (Hardcover)
This author's list of credits is quite impressive. He is an internationally recognised air historian, has over 20 books published and contributes to "Jane's All the World's Aircraft." In this book he has concentrated on all those aircraft employed by the Axis Powers of WW2 and, in short, he has made an excellent job of it too.
Laid out in strict alphabetical order by make, each aircraft commences with a text headed "History and Notes" in which all the relevant history is covered and the numerous variations of different aircraft explained. To this is added plans and the occasional photograph. Most interestingly, instead of treating the reader to an artist's impression of a single profile example, we get several different profiles of each aircraft showing their numerous variations and livery. In the case of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, for example, there are 10 such profiles. In my own work I frequently find myself researching whatever aircraft was involved with the sinking of a particular ship and this book gives me all the historical and technical details I could ever want. An excellent choice for those with a deeper interest in the subject. NM.

This review is from: The Hamlyn Concise Guide to Axis Aircraft of World War II (Hardcover)
When looking around for general books about Axis aircraft of WWII I was not coming up with many results. I found this one and was pleased with my purchase. It covers all the main aircraft and their specifications. Good pictures and drawings. It doesnt get into super detail of every plane, but as a general reference for this subject it is a good and inexpensive book to ad to the aviation library :)
