Heinkel He 111
Mackay, Ron
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
The Heinkel He 111 is perhaps the best known of all the Luftwaffe's World War Two bombers. Designed originally as a civil airliner, it made its mark in the bomber role in the Spanish Civil War. Active from the beginning of World War Two, the He 111 played a crucial part in the bombardment of targets in Britain and, later, the Eastern Front.
Ron Mackay's history of this important aircraft places it firmly in the context of the course of World War Two, and shows how it went from being a fast, effective machine to a seriously outclassed deathtrap, attempting to stay on the offensive right up until the end of the war.
Illustrated with many archive photographs, this is a book for anyone interested in aviation or World War Two.
