Armed with heavy cannon and the latest air-to-air rockets and missiles, these were designed to inflict carnage on American bomber formations at high speed. Using stunning three-view illustrations of each prototype along with full colour artwork, aviation expert Robert Forsyth traces the history of the extraordinary aircraft of the ‘Emergency Fighter Competition’, Hitler’s last throw of the dice in the air war against the Allies.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBIllustrator: Jim Laurier, Wiek LuijkenContributor: Jim Laurier (Illustrated by), Wiek Luijken (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: X-PlanesTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
