Among the aircraft types featured in the two volumes which make up this series are: Heinkel He 115, Ju 88, four-engined Fw 200 Condors and He 177s and the Do 217s used by Kampfgeschwader. This volume also include studies of some of the more interesting weaponry used by German bomber units operating in such a role, such as the PC 1400 X ‘Fritz X’ radio-guided bomb and the Henschel 293 rocket-driven remotely-controlled ‘stand-off’ missile used against destroyers in the Mediterranean. Alongside the photographic content, much of which is previously unpublished, and color artworks, the books also include first-hand reminiscences from Luftwaffe pilots of the era. 4) COMBINED POSTAGE DISCOUNT - The amount discounted varies depending on country, size and weight, but will always be lower than the sum of your items' individual postage cost
