Description
The Henschel Hs129 was a dedicated close-support and anti-tank aircraft, the only aircraft specifically designed for this role to see service with the Luftwaffe in WW2. This book describes the design, development and operations of the type, including the many problems with powerplants which dogged the design throughout its career. Built in relatively small numbers, and suffering huge losses on operations, the Hs129 nevertheless proved an effective 'tank buster' and lingered on in service until the end of the war. Profusely illustrated with photos, colour profiles, scale plans and excerpts from official manuals, this book is an essential guide to the Hs129 for aircraft enthusiasts and modellers.
