About this title

Review:

Forget the politics; this is an interesting account and well worth reading, particularly the chapters on test-flying the piloted V1 and Messerschmitt Me 163. --Aeroplane, July 2009

These books are simply splendid with many gems amongst the colour artwork to tempt us modellers. Thoroughly recommended. --Military in Scale
