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.

Hawker Aircraft is most famous for its WW2 fighter plane, the Hurricane. After WW2, the British needed something to match the MIG-15. The Hunter was first flown in 1949, but production did not start until 1953 after the Korean War. Just under 2,000 of these multi-role jets were built and served with the Royal Air Force as well as India, Switzerland and Lebanon. This Squadron/Signal In Action book follows the very successful formula of 49 pages, plenty of line drawings, Black and White photos and 2 pages of color plates to show the different models and varients of this capable aircraft. Perfect for modelers or those interested in British Aviation, the history of aviation in the 1950's and 1960's.
