Description - Luftwaffe Fighters of World War II by Chris Goss
This book gives the reader, be they well-versed in Luftwaffe matters or just simply curious to know more, an insight into the main Luftwaffe fighters of World War Two. It details the genesis of many of the well-known types, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or Focke Wulf Fw 190 single-engined fighters, as well as illustrating the lesser-known types such as the Bachem Ba 349 Natter single-seat rocket fighter.

The book is richly illustrated throughout with over 200 black and white and colourised photographs and full-colour profiles.
