Dr. Alfred Price Libri

The remarkable story of the air war over London

Details all of the Luftwaffe's operations between May 1944 and May 1945, including Operation Bodenplatte and jet and rocket fighter missions.

A historical focus on five classic wartime aircraft from 1939 to 1945, their construction, development and use in action.

The standard reference work on electronic-warfare systems during the Second World War.

The story of the Messerschmitt began in 1934, although chief designer Willi Messerschmitt had no previous experience of designing fighter aircraft. This book will lead you through the chronological history of this classic aircraft and its involvement in World War II. It features over 75 historical photographs.

Provides an insight into what it takes to own, restore and operate a Spitfire. This book also offers an insight into the engineering and construction of this aeroplane.

The narrative description and condensed history of the Spitfire’s construction, combat career and post-war service, bought together to tell the complete, concise history of the world’s most famous aircraft of all time and undoubtedly the finest fighter of World War II. When Spitfire at War first appeared in 1974, it enjoyed critical acclaim, for the aircraft had never been described in such terms and detail before. It was followed by a second volume in 1985 and a third volume in 1990. All three volumes sold well and are hailed as classic works on the subject. These important works have been out of print for more than a decade, thereby denying them to the current breed of aviation buffs. The time has come to re-issue the three books as a single volume, the author ‘cherry-picking’ the choice cuts to produce the finest title on the mighty and beloved Spitfire.

This is one of the new Icon titles from Haynes.

The adventures of some sixty pilots and ground crewmen who flew or worked on the Spitfire during World War 2
