First published in 1972, this book has been through eight reprintings, but now is republished in a revised edition incorporating new information and illustrations. The book traces the development of the German aircraft industry from the restrictions imposed by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles through the rebirth of the German military aviation in 1935, when the Nazi government renounced its treaty obligations. The history of German military aviation during 1935-45 is told via detailed descriptions and development and operational histories of its aircraft. The revision incorporates new material including information drawn from postwar testing by pilots in the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain. The revisions ensure that this book remains the most complete reference work of its kind.

Putnam Publishing Group

This volume maintains the high standards of Putnam's Manufacturer series, examining in detail the output of one of Germany's most famous aircraft manufacturers, Junkers. With 3-view drawings, cut-aways, fine photographs and unsurpassed in-depth treatment of the design history of Junkers aircraft, this volume is the definitive history of a German engineering legend. Hugo Junkers was a leading pioneer of aviation, especially all-metal aircraft construction, and his name is associated with great aerodynamic and structural advances in engineering. His design and manufacturing bureau was responsible for some of the most distinctive and famous aircraft of the 20th century, including the terrifying Ju87 Stuka divebomber and the Ju88 bomber which battered London in the Blitz, but successful airliners and transports were also part of the Junkers roster over the course of its 30-year history.
