Heinkel He 111 by Ron Mackay

The Heinkel He 111 is perhaps the best known of all the Luftwaffe's World War II bombers. Designed originally as a civil airliner, it made its mark in the bomber role in the Spanish Civil War. Active from the beginning of World War II, the He 111 played a crucial part in the bombardment of targets in Britain and, later, the Eastern front. The author's history of this important aircraft places it firmly in the context of the course of World War II, and shows how it went from being a fast, effective machine to a seriously outclassed death-trap, attempting to stay on the offensive right up until the end of the war.
Ron Mackay's interest in military aviation began during World War Two. A working knowledge of German extended his field of study to the Luftwaffe. Ron's previous books for Crowood, Messerschmitt Bf110 and Junkers Ju88, share with this one the profits of extensive researches amongst surviving aircrew.
