Projets secrets de la Luftwaffe Séries
Cette série plonge dans le monde fascinant des technologies militaires secrètes et des projets ambitieux de la Luftwaffe pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle explore des concepts aéronautiques innovants, souvent visionnaires mais non réalisés, qui auraient pu modifier le cours du conflit. Les lecteurs peuvent s'attendre à des descriptions techniques détaillées, un contexte historique et des spéculations sur les 'et si' de ces entreprises clandestines.

8= x 11 150 b&w photos 110 color illustrations The two previous volumes in this hugely popular series have covered Fighters 1939-1945 and Strategic Bombers 1935-1945. This new addition takes a close look at a varied range of aircraft types, principally described as ground-attack and special-purpose types, but which includes Kampfzerstvrer (multi-purpose combat aircraft), multi-purpose and fast bombers, explosive-carrying aircraft intended to attack other aircraft, air-to-air ramming vehicles, bomb-carrying gliders and towed fighters, and airborne weapons and special devices (rockets, cannons, flame-throwers, etc.) As in the first two volumes, the technical descriptions and histories of about 140 aircraft types are brought to life by many specially created full-color artworks, showing the projects, often in unit markings, as they might have appeared if they had come to fruition and/or if the war had continued beyond 1945. This series has proven indispensable for historians and notably for modelers, whose imaginations are fired up by these revelations.
