Heinkel He 177 Units of World War 2 (Osprey)

In many ways, the Heinkel He 177 'Greif' (Griffon) was Nazi Germany's 'lost' strategic bomber. With some fundamental creases ironed out, and built in large numbers, the He 177 would have offered the Luftwaffe the means with which to carry out long-range, mass bombing attacks against targets of a strategic nature.

Although competing interests and personalities served to prevent this from happening, from mid-1943 the aircraft nevertheless saw service over England, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and in Russia.
The He 177 flew to the end of the war, with some machines undertaking extremely hazardous low-level missions against Soviet armour in Poland in late 1944-45.

This fascinating book, filled with detailed artwork and contemporary photographs, tells the story of this aircraft, including the political infighting at the top of the Luftwaffe's hierarchy that stymied its development, its radical technical design and its state-of-the-art weaponry.

Das große Bordflugzeug - Arado Ar 95 und Heinkel He 114

In the Weimar Republic, pioneering ship designs were developed for the Reichsmarine, which had catapults for the use of on-board reconnaissance aircraft. After the Heinkel He 60 biplane, the Arado Ar 95 and the Heinkel He 114, which were based on the tender for a large on-board aircraft, were used for a short time.
Because both of these were disappointing, the Reich Air Ministry put out a tender for the "on-board aircraft 1936" and finally procured the Arado Ar 196.

The monographs on the He 60 and the Ar 196 published by Helios-Verlag are internationally regarded as standard works. The present monograph on the Ar 95 and He 114 models concludes the development history of the shipboard aircraft in the Kriegsmarine with largely unpublished images and rare technical drawings.
