About this Item

First English Language Edition - - Aircraft armament is very much an underpublished subject area in which there is a growing interest. This is particularly true of air-dropped ammunition. This subject involves more than just bombs; rockets and a range of other weapons also come into this category. Combine this subject area with the Luftwaffe in World War Two and you have a book which is of great interest to historians and modellers alike and which will also be of some practical value for artificers and personnel dealing with weapons systems in today's air forces. This book traces the development of German air-dropped ammunition, from the crude, 'aeronautical artillery', of World War One to the advanced remote-control bombs of World War Two. Major topics within the book include demolition bombs, incendiary bombs, special dropped ammunition, sea-dropping ammunition and dropping Containers. A comprehensive illustrated listing catalogues information on 100 different bombs, 22 canisters and 50 of the most important bomb fuses. 239 p. many photos Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
