Dear Richard,


I would not buy this book since it does not focus on the technical and manufacturing aspects I asked about earlier. For example, the luftwaffe leadership gave proposals to potential manufacturers late in the war for aircraft with specific characteristics such as range and and bomb load. It was also apparent that some manufacturers felt that proposals that used fewer strategic materials and wood, plus designs that would require fewer man-hours and unskilled workers, would be looked upon more favorably. There is also the issue of dispersal of production by the Germans.

It goes without saying that the Germans were in a desperate situation and their engineers and scientists simply kept on working. I think the United States would have done the same if it were in Germany's situation.


Regards,
