This review is from: Secret Messerschmitt Projects: (Schiffer Military History Book) (Hardcover)

An absorbing book that casts light on jet age dawn! Despite confining itself to Professor Messerschmitt's projects,the volume provides a lot of information on jet development in a general time scale,beginning with pioneering studies by German aerodynamic science community. But to me the most enticing feature is the technical description of aircraft programs,complete with factory drawings and detailed specifications,not to mention the legacy left to cold war early jets. This book is noteworthy for reading fascinating fact after fact and for closing a gap between the dark last days of World War II and the birth of modern jet age warfare.
