Just when one thinks that "Luft '46" is dead, along come a number of books on the subject to whet one's appetite and get the 'what if' juices flowing!

This particular volume covers fighters from  Arado through Gotha with three views of many of the aircraft and side views of nearly all. What is known of some of these project aircraft is very little, but any and all information gleaned from the archives by the author is included. As one can imagine, some of them are very fanciful indeed. Not only that, but several of the more advanced designs were carefully studied post-war by the Allies and several were deemed to be impossible to fly! Nonetheless, they are all very intriguing and help to fill the imagination of what might have been.

In addition to the usual superb drawings and historical section, there are a number of pages of computer artwork of various aircraft as they might have been if actually put into production. The cover is a prime example of this work and it is quite well done.

If the 'what could have been' is what really strikes your fancy, then this is a book that you should have on your library shelves.
