The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 was a high-performance airplane produced in small numbers by Germany that appeared late in World War 2. It was the culmination of a research and development program that brought together an advance high-performance engine within an innovative airframe. These in conjunction with an entirely new wing, allowed the Ta 152 to out-perform its contemporaries at all altitudes. Presented are five enlightening and lavishly illustrated chapters, each woven around a twelve month period beginning in 1941. Read about test pilots and operational crews who flew the fighter into combat. Too, learn why the Germans rushed the Ta 152 into production while at the same time it was undergoing continuouse testing and evaluation. This is a story of strong rivalries, of divided loyalties and outright survival, all of which ultimately proved disastrous for the Nazi regime.

EagleFiles #4 supplements the histories and biographies that have been published on the A.V.G. Due to the author's extensive pilot interviews, his incredible amount of reference material on these beautiful airplanes and use of rare, original photos, the aircraft illustrations in this book are among the most accurate yet produced of these famous aircraft. 
Combining that research with his own artwork, Tullis has created the type of reference book many have searched for, a complete compendium on the color and markings of the aircraft flown by the American Volunteer Group. Much as been written about the men and misisons of the A.V.G., but little has been published documenting the machines they used. 
Tullis presents a complete color discussion, full color Squadron markings for the First, Second and Third Pursuit Squadrons, full color presentations of the six different Shark's mouths ;and the Chinese roundel National Markings. 
Eight full color profiles, top and bottom views along with five black and white profiles based on the original photos are beautifully rendered by Tullis. Period color photos are among the 125 rare original photos, many published for the first time from original negatives.
