Arado 196

Operating from as far south as the Mediterranean to as far north as the Arctic Circle, from Russia to the coasts of France and Spain, the Luftwaffe's sea and float planes developed a loyal following that continues to this day. With nearly 250 previously unpublished photographs gleaned largely from private collections, the book presents a fascinating pictorial account of the aircraft from the 1930s through World War II. These rare and unusual photographs are accompanied by extended captions and commentary as well as each aircraft's operational service on various fronts of the war. Aircraft types covered include the Arado 196, Blohm und Voss 222, Heinkel 115, Junkers, and Dornier. This treasure trove of images will be enjoyed by historians and modelers alike.
