This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Henschel Hs 129 was a World War II ground-attack aircraft fielded by the German Luftwaffe. Its nickname, the Panzerknacker (tank cracker), is a deliberate pun-in German, it also means "safe cracker." In combat service the Hs 129 lacked a sufficient chance to prove itself; the aircraft was produced in relatively small numbers and deployed during a time when the Luftwaffe was unable to protect them from attack. "The Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 was politically the opening stage of an overall world conflagration. From a military point of view, the conflict was a unique chance for the involved parties to experiment with the latest war doctrines, particularly the large-scale use of air power. Spain was also an ideal testing ground for a large variety of innovative warfare technologies, including combat aircraft. It was also in Spain that the need for close air-support for one's own advancing or retreating combat troops had first emerged. The task of destroying fixed or slowly moving smaller targets such as ships, for example, was solved by employing the dive-bombing technique with its pinpoint accuracy, carried out by the Sturzkampfflugzeug, or Stuka - as the famous, or infamous, Junkers Ju 87 is widely known. However, the neutralization of fast and manoeuvrable small objects - tanks and other armoured or soft-skinned vehicles, as well as groups of mounted enemy troops - had been only partially resolved by the use of biplanes of older types - for example, the Heinkel He 51, or the Henschel Hs 123 (the initial Stuka) - as ground attack aircraft. As proven in Spain, these obsolescent airplanes were not fully suited to the task assigned to them, being rather slow, lightly armed and non-armoured, thus vulnerable to ground fire. The experience in the Spanish war theatre highlighted the need for a well protected and heavily armed specialized Schlachtflugzeug (ground attack aircraft). The existence of such a dedicated aircraft type was fully justified by the apparent necessities of the modern, fast-changing battlefield with flexible front lines, in contrast to the mostly fixed trench warfare, which characterized the 'Great War'.

Download or read book Luftwaffe Emergency Fighters written by Robert Forsyth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1944, the German Air Ministry organised what it called an 'Emergency Fighter Competition' intended to produce designs for quick-to-build yet technically and tactically effective jet fighter aircraft capable of tackling the anticipated arrival of the B-29 Superfortress over Europe, as well as the British Mosquito and US P-38 Lightning which were appearing in ever greater numbers. Thus was born a cutting-edge, highly sophisticated series of aircraft including the futuristic and elegant Focke-Wulf Ta 183; the extraordinary Blohm und Voss P.212, and the state-of-the-art Messerschmitt P.1101 series. Armed with heavy cannon and the latest air-to-air rockets and missiles, these were designed to inflict carnage on American bomber formations at high speed. Using stunning three-view illustrations of each prototype along with full colour artwork, aviation expert Robert Forsyth traces the history of the extraordinary aircraft of the 'Emergency Fighter Competition', Hitler's last throw of the dice in the air war against the Allies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1943, Jack Colman changed from Liberators to Beaufighters and was selected for Torbeau training in Scotland. He joined a strike wing at North Coates attacking North Sea convoys off the coast of Holland. Later, Jack and his Beaufighter were sent to the Far East where he was deployed to fly out of Assam over Burma supporting the Forgotten Army. Midway through the tour, they converted to Mosquitoes - a change he was not particularly happy about. After a short rest converting pilots to Mosquitoes, he felt lucky to be put in charge of a small unit flying service personnel to various venues in southern India. Jack's enthusiasm for flying is maintained and his lucky escapes documented. His fascination with the cultural and social experiences gained in India leaves its mark as he comments on the privileges he experiences, now as a commissioned officer, and of the wealth chasm between the princes and the poor of India. This is a book not just about flying but how one man and his comrades lived through those unique and special times.

Book excerpt: Renowned German aviation specialist Manfred Griehl has collected a unique and valuable selection of photographs of Luftwaffe projects that never made it into battle. They remained on the drawing board or at prototype stage either because they were deemed unsuitable or the developers simply ran out of time and the projects never went into production. Most photographs come from the development sites and testing grounds of the major manufacturers of Nazi Germany: companies such as Dornier, Junkers, Focke-Wulf and Heinkel all received funding from the government to develop bigger and faster aircraft. A huge amount of private testing went on with major organizations such as Daimler-Benz, BMW and Siemens investing huge amounts in new engine systems and other advances such as radar. This book also details the innumerable alterations that were made to existing service aircraft to equip them for new roles. There are examples of Fw190s developed for the delivery of chemical and toxic weapons, the high altitude Junkers EF 61, the early prototype WNF 342 helicopter as well as numerous examples of developmental jet fighters that could very well have been realized had it not been for the effectiveness of the Allied bombing campaign in restricting the supply of necessary materials.
