Product Description
For people who lived through World War II, the name Messerschmitt can still set alarm bells ringing. This book tells the story of the man who designed, built and gave his name to those deadly Luftwaffe aircraft. Provides new insights into Willy Messershmitt the man, his involvement in the Nazi party, and his relationship with the German Air Ministry. Tells how as a young plane-maker he beat the established aviation names to win a Luftwaffe contract for fighter aircraft. Describes Messerschmitt's pioneering rocket-asssisted and jet-propelled aircraft, and his advanced thinking on turbo-props and supersonic flight. Recounts the disasters as well as the successes, and chronicles his post-war work for Spain, Egypt and Germany in the 1960s.
