As the need arose to replace the Yakovlev Yak-28 Brewer making up the backbone of the Soviet Air Force's tactical bomber fleet since 1960, the Sukhoi Design Bureau began development of a twinjet tactical bomber known in-house as the T-6. The first prototype (called T6-1) flew in June 1967, featuring delta wings and four lift-jets buried in the fuselage to improve field performance. However, the weight penalty imposed by the lift-jets was deemed unacceptable and the aircraft was radically reworked to feature variable-geometry wings, becoming the Soviet counterpart to the General Dynamics FB-111. The resulting T6-21 entered flight testing in May 1970, subsequently entering production and service as the Su-24. The bomber underwent a progressive refinement and development process, spawing dedicated reconnaissance and ECM variants. To this day, the Su-24 remains the principal Russian tactical bomber. Apart from deployment in East Germany and Poland in the Cold War days, the type has participated in "hot" conflicts as the Afgan War and the First Chechen War. |

As the tide of the air war against Germany swung in the Allies' favor, so the Luftwaffe was forced onto the defensive. This book covers the Luftwaffe fighter response to the Allied daylight bomber offensive and the development of the heavily armed and armored Sturmgruppen which made mass, close-range attacks against the 'heavies'. The author covers the infamous Schweinfurt raid and also the attrition suffered by the the Luftwaffe over Normandy following D-Day. |

After clearing North Africa of Axis forces, the Allied planned to attack via Sicily and Italy. But after their success in invading Sicily, Allied commanders found that what was thought to be the 'soft underbelly of Europe' turned out to be a 'tough old gut' as German forces conducted a brilliant defence in Italy. This was a difficult time for German fighter pilots, for while their airfields were bombed and they were outnumbered in the air, their leaders - somewhat detached from reality - were convinced that a decisive defeat could still be inflicted on the Allies. Morale declined amid blame and recrimination, and pilots were threatened with court-martial. This title describes the outnumbered German fighter force's attempt to defeat overwhelming aerial superiority from the battle of Sicily in July 1943 to the Allied advance into Northern Italy in the Winter of 1944. |

Well illustrated (many in color), 20 profiles in color, 3-views. Text in Japanese and English. From the Wikipedia website: "The early versions of the Bf 109G resembled closely the Bf 109 F-4 and carried the same basic armament - however, on all Gustav, the firepower could be increased with the Rüstsatz VI field kit, i. E. Two underwing 20mm MG 151/20 gondola cannons in aerodynamic fairings under the wings. From the spring of 1943, the G-series saw the appearance of bulges in the cowling when the 7.92 mm MG 17 was replaced with the 13 mm MG 131 heavy machine guns (G-5 onwards) due to the latter's much larger Breechblock, and on the wings (due to larger tyres) , leading to the Bf 109G-6s nickname "The Bulge" (German: "Die Beule"). The Gustav continued to be improved constantly: cockpit visibility, firepower in the form of the 3cm MK 108 cannon was added to the basic design in 1943, and a new, enlarged supercharger for the DB605, an enlarged vertical stabilizer (G-5 onwards) , MW-50 power boost in 1944." |

X Planes of the Third Reich Series - An Illustrated Series on Germany's Experimental Aircraft of World War II. The pilot-operated Bachem Ba 349 Natter (Adder) was one of several unexpected new weapons Germany was seeking to perfect for a more effective defense against Allied heavy bombers. The idea of the ground-to-air missile to slow down, if not stop, attacking aircraft was one of the greatest developments to come out of World War II, and Germany led the field. David Myhra has taken 240 photographs and illustrations from his collection and presents the worlds first defense interceptor missile the manned Ba 349 Natter. |
