The Horten Flying Wing in World War II, H.P. Dabrowski

The Horten Flying Wing in World War II, H.P. Dabrowski. Published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 1997. Illustrated card covers. 4to – over 9¾” – 12″ tall; 52pp. with over 70 black and white photos. Light shelf wear to front cover and otherwise in fine condition. A German pre-cursor to modern Stealth technology; Hermann Göring, allocated half-a-million Reich Marks to the brothers Reimar and Walter Horten to build and fly several prototypes. Numerous technical problems beset this unique design and the only powered example crashed after several test flights but the airplane remains one of the most unusual combat aircraft tested during World War II.
