German Jet Aces of World War 2 by Hugh Morgan

The Third Reich's last ditch efforts to sweep the massed Allied bomber formations from the skies of Germany centred around the new crop of jet 'wonder weapons' that were issued to the Jagdwaffe from mid-1944 onwards. Far in advance of anything the Allies had even in the experimental phase, types like the Me 262, He 162, Me 163 and the Ar 234 could perform their combat sorties with relative impunity. However, paucity in numbers and unreliable jet engines eventually cancelled out any technological edge that these aircraft offered. This is the story of the aces that flew these innovative, yet flawed, machines.

Hugh Morgan is the Director of an autistic charity based in the Midlands. He has long been fascinated by the aviation world, and has written several very successful books for Osprey Publishing.

John Weal is a prolific aviation author and profile artist, specialising in the Luftwaffe. He has written several volumes for Osprey Publishing’s Aircraft of the Aces and Combat Aircraft series.
