"Heinkel He 112" leaves a lot to be desired,
By
This review is from: Heinkel He 112: (Schiffer Military/Aviation History) (Paperback)
If you are searching for an authoritative book on this relatively obscure German World War II fighter, you are probably better off looking elsewhere. While Dabrowski devotes considerable attention in the text to the initial prototypes of this one-time competitor of the Messerschmitt Bf 109, he hardly discusses the ensuing (albeit limited) production run of the He 112B model, not to mention the He 112's operational service with several air forces. Furthermore the book does not include any technical specifications for the aircraft (even those as simple as engines used and armament!) which is highly unusual in a book of this nature. Finally as a translation into English, the text is awkward in several spots."Heinkel He 112"'s only redeeming feature is the wealth of photographs it contains, including many that do not appear in the usual sources of German World War II military aviation. For those interested in learning more about what could have been the standard Luftwaffe fighter if not for the more successful Bf 109, however, this is not enough. |
