GERMAN BOMBERS OF WORLD WAR TWO, VOLUME TWO

This fine book, which contains photographs and illustrated profiles, tells the history of various German bombers during the Second World War.

German Bombers, Volume Two, is devoted to the second generation of German bombers : the Dornier Do 17, the Heinkel He 177, the Junkers Ju 188, the Arado Ar 234 and the " Mistletoe " pick - a - back aircraft. Each of the types described in these pages incorporated ingenious design features and, when the sometimes daunting teething troubles had been overcome, was at least as good as its enemy equivalent. None of the types described here can be labelled as " great ", for none of them accomplished great things. But greatness and quality are not necessarily linked, and as the successors of the bombers which were the terror of Europe in the early war years these aircraft have a well - deserved place in aviation history.
