The first volume of the Monograph Junkers Ju 88 describes the genesis and development of the construction of the most modern German bomber in early period of the Second World War. The author presents the history of the various prototypes and short technical description of the construction of Ju 88 A-1, which was the first mass-produced version of this aircraft.
This monograph is dedicated to the German Ta 154 night fighter which supposed to be an answer to the British Mosquito. The book covers both Ta 154 development history and the combat record of only few of those fighters ever deployed. Numerous rare archive photographs combined with many 3D renders depicting almost every detail of Ta 154 give a remarkable chance to discover all aspects of this unique aircraft.
The monograph on the WW2 German bombers Dornier Do 17 and Dornier Do 215 discusses their design, development and operational history. Each variant is specified and comprehensively described with coverage of changes made in its sub-variants, including the special modifications for the foreign recipients. Designed and built in the late 1930s, originally as reconnaissance and bomber plane, the Do 17/215 was also used as a night fighter equipped with radar systems. A large part of the book is devoted to the combat use of the aircraft in the Spanish Civil War, Poland, the Balkans and Russia together with the Western Campaign and Battle of Britain. A short account of the night fighting missions is also included.
This book covers the combat history of Me 262s in Defence of the Reich. The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design and development of the aircraft began before World War II, but engine problems meant the aircraft did not reach operational status until the summer of 1944.
In combat, when properly flown, it proved to be virtually untouchable and able to outrun its Allied counterparts by as much 100mph. The Me 262 claimed a total of 509 Allied kills during the course of the war, largely in defence of its own country.
Content includes revolutionary design, Kommando Nowotny, Jagdgeschwader 7, March-May 1945.
With colour artworks, numerous photographs, line drawings and a free decal sheet.

The new edition of Arado Ar 234 monograph devoted to the history of the Arado Ar 234 Blitz, the first German jet bomber and reconnaissance plane. The book has been supplemented with new pictures and include a large number of detailed 3D visualization featuring aircraft design. The first volume covers its design and development in regard to the evolution of jet propulsion. Each variant is specified and described, including few which never progressed beyond the drawing board.
This monograph of the most famous dive bomber of World War II focuses on the design and combat operations of the late marks of the Stuka: the Ju 87D dive bomber and strike aircraft and the Ju 87G tank buster. In addition to the detailed description of the design, the book covers combat operations of the Luftwaffe units equipped with the D and G models, as well as the biographies of the most prominent aircrews who flew those aircraft in combat. The text is supplemented by original photographs and 3D drawings showing details of the design.
Tests with the Arado Ar 234 prototypes demonstrated that straight wings retained their good aerodynamic characteristics only at speeds below 800 kph. Near-supersonic flights demanded a completely new approach to wing geometry. On 9th December 1942 two Arado company engineers, Rüdiger Kosin and Walter Lehmann, patented a crescent shaped wing, which had its sweep and chord decreasing from root to tip. In mid-1944 Kosin decided to use his wing design on the Arado 234. Five variants of the wing were built, designated Versuchsflügel I through V, each differing in its sweep. Nevertheless, none of them was used in practice. The most advanced work on this project was carried out at Dedelsdorf airbase, where the Ar 234 V16 was being re-built as part of this research. The aircraft was destroyed in mid-April 1945 by advancing British troops as they captured the airfield.
This is the fourth volume in the Junkers Ju 87 series by Kagero, and focuses on the variants and their combat during the Battle of Britain, with colour artwork and illustrations.
The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug,"dive bomber") was a two-seat (pilot and rear gunner) German ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, the Stuka first flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War.
The aircraft was easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings, fixed spatted undercarriage and its infamous Jericho-Trompete ("Jericho Trumpet") wailing siren, becoming the propaganda symbol of German air power and the"Blitzkrieg" victories of 1939-1942. The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high acceleration. Although sturdy, accurate, and very effective, the Ju 87 was vulnerable to modern fighter aircraft, like many other dive bombers of the war, particularly during the conflict over the skies and seas of the British Channel.

This superb monograph devoted to the `A–D’ variants of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 discusses its origins and development with detailed coverage of changes made in all its variants and sub-variants, including the special modifications for the foreign recipients.
The initial production models of the A, B, C and D series were fitted with the relatively low-powered, 670–700 PS Junkers Jumo 210 series engines. A handful of prototypes of these early aircraft were converted to use the more powerful DB 600.
This volume includes many rare colour profile artworks, detailing the impressive fighter.

This superb monograph is devoted to the Ar 196, a shipboard reconnaissance aircraft, which became the standard aircraft of the Kriegsmarine throughout World War II.
Loved by its pilots for its superior handling both in the air and on the water, the A-1s were added to coastal squadrons, and continued to fly reconnaissance missions and submarine hunts into late 1944. Two notable operations were the capture of HMS Seal, and the repeated interception of RAF Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley bombers. Although it was no match for a fighter, it was considerably better than its Allied counterparts, and generally considered the best of its class. Owing to its good handling on water, the Finnish Air Force utilised Ar 196 solely on transporting and supplying special forces patrols behind enemy lines, landing on small lakes in remote areas. Several fully equipped soldiers were carried in the fuselage.
This volume includes many rare colour profile artworks, detailing the aircraft.
