About this ebook
Some forty aircraft were built between late 1943 and the end of the war, and it was intended to deploy the type as a day fighter, bomber, night fighter, bad weather interceptor, and reconnaissance aircraft, all of which were intended to incorporate the latest armament, bomb sights, communications, and radar equipment, as well as an ejector seat. Featuring archive photography and specially commissioned artwork, this is the full story of the aircraft that the Luftwaffe hoped would turn the tide of the war.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A definitive work with exhaustive details on the aircraft
and its proposed variants ( tons of them - pie in the sky
ideas so late in the war).
Germany already had several night fighters - why build
another one ? Coupling two together for a long
range recon plane ?
The US had three Experimental "push - pull" aircraft
and none were adopted because they were no better
than existing ones.
