With access to previously unpublished information, authors Schick and Meyer bring to life the furturistic shapes that might have terrorized the Allies had the war gone beyond 1945. Full color action illustrations in contemporary unit markings show vividly what might have been achieved. Careful comparison with later Allied and Soviet aircraft show the legacy handed on, right up to todays stealth aircraft.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful illustrations, but not much content,
By A Customer
This review is from: LUFTWAFFE SECRET PROJECTS FIGHTERS 1939-1945 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
The authors have done an excellent job of converting old blueprints of aircraft that the German aircraft manufactures conceived but never built during the war into realistic artist's conceptions. Unfortunately, they largely fail to explain the details of why each design was a breakthough or a failure, and why they did not make it to production. That makes what could have been a facinating investigation into the aeronautical science of the day into little more than a good coffee table book.

A fascinating view of what might have been,
By A Customer
This review is from: LUFTWAFFE SECRET PROJECTS FIGHTERS 1939-1945 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This book is not a technical masterpiece, but it serves the purpose of enlightening readers about the technology of aviation from the drawing boards of 1945 to actual aircraft built based on those designs (for example the Focke Wulf TA-183 was an obvious precursor to the MIG-15 of Korean War infamy). The color paintings will prove of particular use to modellers of experimental luftwaffe aircraft.

I was amazed at the amount of material that I had never seen before in this book. The illustrations are extremely well presented and the background material places them in historical context. I have truly enjoyed this book!
