Re: What is your favourite REAL WW2 aviation book?
This one of the most sadistic thread I have ever participated! LOL !!!
Soooo difficult to chose! So many good books and wonderful authors that drove my pation through years.
But, as I don't want to repeat previously named titles, I'm going to put forward Michael Baumgartel outstanding work:
Das Jagdflugzeug Messerschmitt Bf 109. Technik, Eigenschaften, Leistung, Stückzahlen, Bewährung.
This is actually the most comprehensive book on the technical development of the 109.1032 pages divided into 41 chapters. Almost no illustrations. Pure scientific approach with 4850 footnotes but not only for reference. Also to explain many themes that were debated or are still open to debat.
The definitive book on the subject ? No. But a definitive turning point in the literature of the Bf 109 and a real stepping stone to build your knowledge on the subject.
I would have talke about Claringbould & Ingman books but as it is only one book... lol
