Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe: Volume 2 (Monographs 3D Edition)

• Exceptional reference tool for modelers

The Messerschmitt Me 262, the world’s first jet-powered aircraft, first took to the air in April 1941. Engine problems marred early attempts to certify the craft battle worthy and it wasn’t until the spring of 1944 that it took to the skies with the Luftwaffe. The aircraft proved to be a deadly enemy, claiming over 500 victims.

In this volume Marek Murawski and Marek Ryś examine the mighty Me 262 in all its formidable glory. Split into three major parts the book covers the production of the aircraft, the combat techniques employed by the Luftwaffe and the Messerschmitt Me 262 painting schemes.

Included are numerous color photographs and a variety of 3D drawings and profiles.
