schnellbomber: Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe - Vol 1 - Jet Fighters 1939 -1945 Dan Sharp, 2020-09-22 Germany’s air ministry was quick to grasp the potential of the jet engine as early as 1938 and by 1939 several German aircraft manufacturers were already working on fighter designs that would utilize this new form of propulsion. Rocket engines too were seen as the way of the future and companies were commissioned to design fighters around them. As the Second World War began, the urgent need to bring these advanced new types into production saw a host of innovative aircraft designs being produced which would eventually result in Messerschmitt’s Me 262 jet fighter and the Me 163 rocket-propelled interceptor. And as the war progressed, efforts were increasingly made to find better ways of utilizing jet, rocket and latterly ramjet engines in fighter aircraft. Aviation companies from across Germany set their finest minds to the task and produced some of the most radical aircraft designs the world had ever seen. They proposed rotating wing ramjet fighters, arrowhead-shaped rammers, rocket-firing bat-winged gun platforms, sleek speed machines, tailless flying wings, tiny mini fighters and a host of others ranging from deadly looking advanced fighters to downright dangerous vertical launch interceptors. Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe Volume 1: Jet Fighters 1939-1945 by Dan Sharp, based on original research using German wartime documents, offers the most complete and authoritative account yet of these fascinating designs through previously unseen photographs, illustrations and period documentation from archives around the world. |
schnellbomber: The Heinkel AG VTOL "Wespe" David Myhra PhD, 2013-09-15 The trouble with conventional aircraft is that they need runways, long expensive concrete runways so that they can take-off and land. During times of war, the enemy's airports and their hard-surfaced runways make inviting targets. They might just as well have big white letters stating BOMB HERE! What is needed in times of total war is an interceptor which can take-off and land vertically from hiding places like cities, farms and wooded areas. This is the story of one VTOL (verticle take off and landing) proposed by the Heinkel AG company, for the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany during World War II. |
schnellbomber: Junkers Ju88 William A. Medcalf, 2013-07-04 This book is the first in a two-part comprehensive study of the development and operational history of the Junkers Ju 88, exploring the many variants of this famous and long-serving Luftwaffe multirole aircraft. The text is supported by several hundred rare photographs, manufacturer’s handbook data, scale line drawings, and specially commissioned color artwork. The work will represent the most comprehensive study of the Ju 88 in many years. The first volume gives a detailed examination of its construction program and development from its beginnings in the mid-1930s through all the variants produced during the war. Amongst its many roles, it was known widely as a feared night fighter, representing the pinnacle of German aeronautical design technology. It also served in numbers with the air forces of Finland, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Spain, and France. Its appeal as a combat aircraft—especially to modelers—was due to its widely dispersed service and as such, its variants, including the Ju 188 and Ju 288 are also covered. |
schnellbomber: Junkers Ju 188 Units of World War 2 Robert Forsyth, 2022-06-23 This volume examines the history and development of the Ju 188 twin-engined aircraft, the Luftwaffe's attempt to enhance and improve its peerless Ju 88. The Junkers Ju 188 was the epitome of mid-war German twin-engined aircraft design, representing the enhancement of an earlier type and incorporating increased performance and technological sophistication. As part of the 1939 'Bomber B' programme, it was intended as a replacement for the Ju 88 and He 111 medium bombers, taking advantage of uprated Jumo and BMW engines and incorporating a radically redesigned cockpit area with all-round visibility for high-speed bombing, torpedo-bomber carrying, FuG 200 radar, and camera-equipped reconnaissance operations. What emerged, from the autumn of 1943, was a sophisticated bomber and reconnaissance aircraft–and intended nightfighter. After operational trials, the Ju 188 equipped three bomber Geschwader and several long-range reconnaissance Staffeln in the East and Italy, conducting operations over Britain and the Western Front as well as Russia and the Mediterranean. This comprehensive study charts the design, development, and deployment of an advanced aircraft which was ultimately overshadowed by improvements to the aeroplane it was designed to replace. Supported by specially commissioned illustrations and contemporary photography, this is the essential guide to the Junkers Ju 188. |
schnellbomber: Jet Web Dietrich Eckardt, 2023-02-03 The present book describes the development history of turbojet engines, mainly in the web-type triangle Great Britain (USA) - Germany - Switzerland from early beginnings in the 1920s up to the first practical usage in the 1950s, before the still unbroken, grand impact of aero propulsion technology on global air traffic started. interconnections are highlighted, including the considerable impact of axial-flow compressor design know-how of the Swiss/German company BBC Brown Boveri & Cie. on both sides. The author reveals significant undercurrents which led to a considerable exchange, and thus change in understanding of the technical-historical perspective, especially in the decisive years before WWII, and thus closes gaps in the unilateral views of this ground-breaking technical advancement. The old ‘Whittle vs. von Ohain Saga’ is not repeated in full, but addressed in sufficient detail to understand the considerably enlarged narrative scope. |

schnellbomber: The Messerschmitt Bf 110 Story Jan Forsgren, 2024-06-03 A highly capable twin-engined destroyer, fighter-bomber, and night fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 110 (unofficially the Me 110) was, in Hermann Göring’s estimation, the pick of the Luftwaffe’s offensive fighters. Drawing on the personal recollections of pilots and aircrew, as well as the individual histories of principal units and non-Luftwaffe operators, 'The Messerschmitt Bf 110 Story' charts the aircraft’s operational service in Poland, the Battle of Britain, North Africa, and the Eastern Front. It offers deep technical analysis on the aircraft’s design and performance alongside competitors, such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 57 and Henschel Hs 124, and opponents, like the French Potez 630/631 series and Polish PZL.38. The few Bf 110s that have survived in preservation are also explored in this comprehensive operational and technical account of the Luftwaffe’s famous Zerstörer. |
schnellbomber: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Damien Lewis, 2015-09-08 From the award-winning historian, war reporter, and author Damien Lewis (Zero Six Bravo, Judy) comes the incredible true story of the top-secret butcher-and-bolt black ops units Prime Minister Winston Churchill assigned the task of stopping the unstoppable German war machine. Criminals, rogues, and survivalists, the brutal tactics and grit of these deniables would define a military unit the likes of which the world had never seen. When France fell to the Nazis in spring 1940, Churchill declared that Britain would resist the advance of the German army--alone if necessary. Churchill commanded the Special Operations Executive to secretly develop of a very special kind of military unit that would operate on their own initiative deep behind enemy lines. The units would be licensed to kill, fully deniable by the British government, and a ruthless force to meet the advancing Germans. The very first of these butcher-and-bolt units--the innocuously named Maid Honour Force--was led by Gus March-Phillipps, a wild British eccentric of high birth, and an aristocratic, handsome, and bloodthirsty young Danish warrior, Anders Lassen. Amped up on amphetamines, these assorted renegades and sociopaths undertook the very first of Churchill's special operations--a top-secret, high-stakes mission to seize Nazi shipping in the far-distant port of Fernando Po, in West Africa. Though few of these early desperadoes survived WWII, they took part in a series of fascinating, daring missions that changed the course of the war. It was the first stirrings of the modern special-ops team, and all of the men involved would be declared war heroes when it was all over. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare focuses on a dozen of these extraordinary men, weaving their stories of brotherhood, comradely, and elite soldiering into a gripping narrative yarn, from the earliest missions to Anders Lassen's tragic death, just weeks before the end of the war. |

schnellbomber: Die Illusion der Wunderwaffen Ralf Schabel, 2009-01-01 Die Hoffnungen der deutschen Wehrmacht konzentrierten sich in der Endphase des Zweiten Weltkriegs darauf, durch Wunderwaffen die Kriegswende im letzten Augenblick herbeizuführen. Während Hitler mit dem Blitzbomber die Invasion abwehren wollte, glaubte ein Teil der Luftwaffenführung, mit einem überlegenen Düsenjäger die Luftherrschaft über Deutschland zurückgewinnen zu können. Schabel zeigt die Probleme in der Führungsstruktur, der Forschung und der Industrie, deretwegen sich diese Hoffnungen nicht erfüllten. |
schnellbomber: Ju 88 Aces of World War 2 Robert Forsyth, 2019-01-24 Initially designed as a fast medium bomber, the Junkers Ju 88 was also used as a Zerstörer heavy fighter by the Luftwaffe. It saw its combat debut over Poland in 1939, and heavy fighter variants saw action on every front up to VE Day. The ultimate Ju 88 fighter variant was the G-model of 1944, which boasted a FuG 220 or 227 radar, an astounding array of cannon and machine gun armament and advanced Junkers Jumo or BMW engines. A dedicated nightfighter, the first Ju 88G-1s entered service with the Nachtjagd in the summer of 1944, replacing Ju 88C/Rs as well as some Bf 110Gs. Despite suffering heavy losses in the final months of the war, Ju 88Gs also inflicted serious casualties on Bomber Command throughout the war. From patrolling over the Bay of Biscay, to the Arctic circle opposing Allied convoys and, most successfully, as radar-equipped nightfighters engaging RAF heavy bombers during defence of the Reich operations from late 1941, this is the story of the Ju 88 aces who menaced Allied aircraft and shipping throughout World War 2. |

schnellbomber: The Dog Who Could Fly Damien Lewis, 2015-07-21 A thoroughly enjoyable story of heroism and true friendship (Publishers Weekly, starred review), this Sunday Times top ten bestseller is the true account of a German shepherd who was adopted by the Royal Air Force during World War II, flying countless combat missions and surviving everything from crash-landings to parachute bailouts--ultimately saving the life of his owner and dearest friend. In the winter of 1939 in the cold snow of no-man's-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey that would turn them into lifelong friends. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled Nazi forces. The other was a different kind of lost soul--a Czech airman bound for the Royal Air Force and the country that he would come to call home. Airman Robert Bozdech stumbled across the tiny German shepherd--whom he named Ant--after being shot down on a daring mission over enemy lines. Unable to desert the puppy, Robert hid Ant inside his jacket as he escaped. In the months that followed, the pair would save each other's lives countless times as they flew together with RAF Bomber Command. Finally grounded after being injured on a flight mission, Ant refused to abandon his duty, waiting patiently beside the runway for his master's return from every sortie, and refusing food and sleep until they were reunited. By the end of the war, Robert and Ant had become true war heroes, and Ant was justly awarded the Dickin Medal, the Animal VC. With beautiful vintage black-and-white photos of Robert and Ant, The Dog Who Could Fly is a deeply moving story of loyalty in the face of adversity and the unshakable bond between a man and his best friend. |

schnellbomber: Aircraft of the Luftwaffe, 1935-1945 Jean-Denis G.G. Lepage, 2009-03-23 One of the most significant innovations in modern warfare has been the appearance and development of air power, a technology which demanded technical and financial investment on a whole new scale and which ultimately changed the fundamental nature of war itself. This book covers the history and development of the German air force from 1935 to 1945, with descriptions and illustrations of almost all of the Luftwaffe's airplanes, including fighters, jet fighters, dive-bombers, ground attackers, medium and heavy bombers, jet bombers, seaplanes, flying boats and carrier planes, transport and gliders, reconnaissance and training aircrafts, helicopters, and many futuristic projects and other rarities. |
schnellbomber: Junkers Ju 88 Ron Mackay, 2001 Designed as a fast level bomber and dive-bomber, the twin-engined Ju 88 was a mainstay of theLuftwaffe during the early and middle years of World War II. Disappointing in its first big confrontation - the Battle of Britain - the aircraft came into its own later in other theatres and in other roles, particularly that of nightfighter. |
schnellbomber: Luftwaffe Bombers vs British AA Defences Donald Nijboer, 2025-04-24 An illustrated study of the British Army's Anti-Aircraft (AA) Command's performance against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. When the Battle of Britain commenced in July 1940, the Luftwaffe committed more than 1,200 medium bombers, 300 Ju 87 Stukas and 760 Bf 109 and Bf 110 fighters to the campaign. The response from British AA Command mustered 359 4.5in. guns, 666 3.7in. guns and 226 3in. guns, as well as 3,538 light and medium AA guns to tackle low-level Luftwaffe raiders, but was under-gunned and overstretched, struggling to provide sufficient weapons for every key site. Nevertheless, AA gunners shot down some 300 German aircraft by the end of the Battle of Britain on 31 October 1940, upping this count to 578 before the Blitz finished on 11 May 1941, and leading an estimated 48 per cent of Luftwaffe bombers to turn back because of heavy AA fire. In this action-packed study, World War 2 aviation expert Donald Nijboer examines the capabilities of both sides, and explores how British AA Command not only shot down so many enemy aircraft, but also forced them to fly higher, broke up their formations and decreased their accuracy. Tactical diagrams, maps, archival photographs and newly commissioned artwork provide additional insight and detail, helping to bring the bitter struggle over the skies of southern England to life. |
schnellbomber: Enemy at the Gates Justo Miranda, 2019-12-08 When the Nazis started to threaten the world with their efficient machine of propaganda, the main concern of European governments was the overwhelming reaction of panic that the expected bombing of the Luftwaffe might cause within the civil population. During the Munich Agreement in 1938, the democracies were defended by old biplanes and a bunch of modern fighters: 50 Hurricanes, 20 Morane-405 and 5 Fokker D.XXI. France and Great Britain took up the production of USA airplanes and cancelled exports to small countries, which were forced to design and build their own PANIC FIGHTERS with the intelligence and skill that desperation provides. When nothing seemed able to contain the German advance, France, Great Britain and the USSR developed several programs of emergency fighters, as did Australia, to face the Japanese expansion. At the time the course of events switched, it was the Axis powers that had to create their own PANIC FIGHTERS, some of them suicidal. The present book includes several last resource designs of fighters that are practically unknown and that were developed in times of tribulation by Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, Yugoslavia, Latvia, Netherland, Poland, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland. |
schnellbomber: «Юнкерс» Ju 88. От пикирующего бомбардировщика и ночного истребителя до самолета-«самоубийцы» Александр Медведь, 2022-05-15 Самый массовый двухмоторный боевой самолет в истории человечества (в общей сложности было выпущено свыше 15 тысяч штук), «Юнкерс-88» стал также и одним из наиболее универсальных: начав свою карьеру как пикирующий бомбардировщик, производству которого в Третьем Рейхе придавалось такое значение, что его именем была названа целая программа перевооружения люфтваффе в 1931-1940 гг., в дальнейшем Ju 88 освоил летные «профессии» дальнего разведчика, ночного истребителя-перехватчика и даже самолета-«камикадзе». Хотя разведывательные и истребительные варианты имели и другие средние бомбардировщики Второй мировой, – ни один, кроме знаменитого «Москито», не справлялся с заданиями по перехвату лучше «Юнкерса»: на счету ночных истребителей Ju 88 более половины всех сбитых английских бомбардировщиков, атаковавших объекты на территории Германии, ее сателлитов и оккупированных стран!Можно сказать, что в судьбе «восемьдесят восьмого» как в зеркале отразилась вся история «Тысячелетнего Рейха», просуществовавшего всего дюжину лет, – от ударного, хищного, под завязку нагруженного бомбами самолета-«агрессора» до «охранника» неба с мощным пушечным вооружением, а затем и вовсе авантюрного варианта самолета-самоубийцы «Мистель» с крайне сомнительной эффективностью.В новой книге ведущего историка авиации, являющейся логическим продолжением его предыдущих бестселлеров о Bf 109, Ju 87 и FW 190, прослеживается весь путь одного из лучших самолетов Второй мировой, ставшего символом тотальной войны на уничтожение. |
schnellbomber: To Defeat the Few Douglas C. Dildy, Paul F. Crickmore, 2020-07-09 This history, based on an exhaustive study of German records, explores The Battle of Britain through the eyes of the Luftwaffe. Over the past 80 years, histories of the Battle of Britain have consistently portrayed the feats of 'The Few' (as they were immortalized in Churchill's famous speech) as being responsible for the RAF's victory in the epic battle. However, this is only part of the story. The results of an air campaign cannot be measured in terms of territory captured, cities occupied or armies defeated, routed or annihilated. Successful air campaigns are those that achieve their intended aims or stated objectives. Victory in the Battle of Britain was determined by whether the Luftwaffe achieved its objectives. The Luftwaffe, of course, did not, and this detailed and rigorous study explains why. Analysing the battle in its entirety in the context of what it was – history's first independent offensive counter-air campaign against the world's first integrated air defence system – Douglas C. Dildy and Paul F. Crickmore set out to re-examine this remarkable conflict. Presenting the events of the Battle of Britain in the context of the Luftwaffe's campaign and RAF Fighter Command's battles against it, this title is a new and innovative history of the battle that kept alive the Allies' chances of defeating Nazi Germany. |

schnellbomber: Propaganda Postcards of the Luftwaffe James Wilson, 2007-03-30 Propaganda Postcards of the Luftwaffe focuses on the efforts of the powerful Nazi propaganda machine to promote the technical achievements and might of the then newly created German airforce. The Luftwaffe had been announced to the world in March 1935, despite the restrictions contained in the Versailles Treaty signed after the First World War denying Germany the right to develop military aircraft. All major aircraft types used by the Luftwaffe together with many lesser known, obscure and secondary types are represented in this book. There is a section covering the main figures of the Luftwaffe and the leading aces who flew the aircraft. The German Air and Propaganda ministries worked together and, using professional photographers produced quality images, which were then made available to the general public in an attempt to inspire the nation and create strong moral. |
schnellbomber: Luftfahrt Zeitschrift Flugsport - Jahr 1940 - Deutsche Luftfahrtgeschichte Oskar Ursinus, 1940-01-01 Die von Oskar Ursinus herausgegebene Zeitschrift Flugsport berichtete auch im Zweiten Weltkrieg über den Luftsport, insbesondere über den Modellflug sowie den Segelflug und über Segelflugzeuge.

schnellbomber: Wunderwaffen - neuartige Waffensysteme der Deutschen Luftwaffe im 2. Weltkrieg Hans-Jürgen Bauer, 2024-07-22 Wunderwaffen - neuartige Waffensysteme der Deutschen Luftwaffe im 2. Weltkrieg Der Begriff Wunderwaffe wurde während des Zweiten Weltkriegs vom Propagandaministerium des nationalsozialistischen Deutschlands für einige revolutionäre Superwaffen verwendet wurde. Die meisten dieser Waffen blieben jedoch Prototypen, die entweder nie den Kriegsschauplatz erreichten, oder wenn doch, dann zu spät oder in zu geringen Stückzahlen, um eine militärische Wirkung zu entfalten. Im deutschen Sprachgebrauch bezeichnet der Begriff Wunderwaffe im Allgemeinen eine Universallösung, die alle mit einem bestimmten Thema zusammenhängenden Probleme löst, und wird meist ironisch verwendet, weil er illusionär ist. Als sich die Kriegssituation für Deutschland ab 1942 verschlechterte, wurden Behauptungen über die Entwicklung revolutionärer neuer Waffen, die das Blatt wenden könnten, zu einem immer wichtigeren Teil der Propaganda, die die deutsche Regierung an die Deutschen richtete. In Wirklichkeit erforderten die in der Entwicklung befindlichen fortschrittlichen Waffen in der Regel lange Entwicklungs- und Testphasen, und es bestand keine realistische Aussicht, dass das deutsche Militär sie vor Kriegsende einsetzen konnte. Der Historiker Michael J. Neufeld stellte fest, dass das Nettoergebnis all dieser Waffen, ob eingesetzt oder nicht, darin bestand, dass das Reich viel Geld und technisches Know-how verschwendete, um exotische Geräte zu entwickeln und zu produzieren, die wenig oder gar keinen taktischen und strategischen Vorteil brachten. Einige wenige Waffen erwiesen sich jedoch als durchaus erfolgreich und hatten großen Einfluss auf die Nachkriegsentwicklung. Dieses Buch beschreibt die neuartigen Waffensysteme Wunderwaffen, die für die Deutsche Luftwaffe entwickelt wurden. Das Werk ist mit umfangreichem zeitgenössischem Bildmaterial illustriert. Umfang 237 Seiten |

schnellbomber: Il ministero della guerra sporca Damien Lewis, 2024-08-06T00:00:00+02:00 Questa è la storia inedita dell’esercito privato voluto da Winston Churchill (con l’aiuto di Ian Fleming, il padre di 007) durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, un manipolo di corsari che agì sull’esempio di quelli assoldati da Elisabetta I nel XVI secolo per contrastare il dominio spagnolo dei mari. Quando la Francia cadde in mano ai nazisti nella primavera del 1940, il Primo ministro ordinò allo Special Operations Executive di sviluppare unità militari segrete in grado di operare dietro le linee nemiche al di là di ogni regola e morale. Per fare ciò occorrevano non soldati ma temerari con una naturale vocazione alla violenza: clandestini non riconosciuti dal governo che li avrebbe abbandonati al loro destino in caso di fallimento. Damien Lewis ricostruisce, sulla base di documenti finora inediti, le avventure di queste unità segrete, composte da criminali, ladri, scampati alla forca, dalle prime missioni alla morte del loro comandante, in Italia, a poche settimane dalla fine della guerra. La prima unità era comandata da Gus March-Phillipps, un eccentrico britannico di nobili natali votato alla violenza, e da un giovane aristocratico danese, bello e assetato di sangue, Anders Lassen. Dedito alle anfetamine, questo piccolo esercito di sociopatici azzardò la primissima delle operazioni speciali di Churchill: sequestrare le navi naziste nel porto di Fernando Poo, nell’Africa occidentale. Da allora le imprese divennero sempre più audaci, e Lewis le racconta seguendo un avvincente filo narrativo che il regista Guy Ritchie ha trasposto in versione cinematografica nel 2024. Al timone della Maid Honour si trovava un personaggio smilzo e di bell’aspetto, i cui baffi non riuscivano a nascondere la cicatrice su un labbro, ricordo di un morso di cavallo. In un’altra vita, Gus March-Phillipps avrebbe potuto essere lo scrittore di polizieschi e il perfetto cavallerizzo che tanto desiderava essere. Ma non in quel momento. Il mondo era in guerra e il capitano March-Phillipps, veterano della battaglia di Dunkerque, stava guidando un gruppo di disperati tagliagole in una missione sino ad allora mai tentata. «Damien Lewis è uno storico attento e un narratore nato». Lee Child «Il libro di Lewis funziona con gli stessi principi del SOE: viaggia leggero, colpisce punti vitali ed è estremamente efficace. Lewis racconta tutto come se stesse scrivendo un thriller». Steve Donoghue «Una delle vicende più straordinarie nella storia delle operazioni delle forze speciali». Daily Express |
