Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This is the second in a two-volume work shedding light on a remarkable range of unearthed secret projects and experimental aircraft designs developed by German aircraft designers during the era of the Third Reich. The book is the result of intense research by Ingolf Meyer, who also researched the projects contained in the best-selling Luftwaffe Secret Projects series. This volume covers experimental fighters and ground attack aircraft projects developed from manufacturers falling alphabetically between Lippisch and Zeppelin and is packed with detailed illustrations of never-before-seen experimental projects. This work contains more illustrations and less text than the Luftwaffe Secret Projects series, enhancing the book's appeal to modelers and others interested in the technical details of these projects.

The German aircraft designers were ahead of the rest of the world during World War II. Advances in power plants including turbojets (ME-262), ramjets, rockets (ME-163) and pulse jets (V-1), allowed the airframe manufacturers to expand their thinking from the traditional single seat, single engine fighters that were really used throught the war.
In this book the author has collected the proposals from German aircraft manufacturers and shows just how far that thinking had expanded. Here are the forefathers of the MIG-15, the British Scorpion, deltas like the F-102 and many more. This book, the very first volume in the series contans fighter aircraft from the companies Arado through Junkers. The subsequent volume will finish the manufacturers from Lippisch to Zeppelin. After that I shouldn't be surprized to see a book on bombers.
The aircraft are shown with a summary of information agout them, a three view line draw line drawing, and a painting of what it would have looked like in action. I don't know just how many planes are described, perhaps a hundred and fifty.
It's fascinating to see what they might have done given a few more years,
