Before WW2, the Germans thought that twin engine planes would be excellent "destroyers" of enemy fighters. Fast, heavily armed the Me-110 led the way. The Battle of Britain showed the theory to be false, yet the Germans persisted in attempting to improve upon the Me-110. The follow on Me-210 was a disaster. It was unstable and difficult for even the test pilots to fly. The Me-410 fixed some of those problems, but these fighters were doomed before they ever took off. This In Action book gives a very good, concise history of the problems and testing. Plenty of line drawings to show the changes in each model. The B&W photos are very crisp, clear with helpful captions. 2 pages of color plates to show camoflage patterns. A section discusses the use of the plane in Hungarian service which adds interest. Definately recommended for modelers or aviation buffs. Not a lot out there on this plane since it was not one of Wllly Messerschmitt's better designs.
