Book about Wiener Neustaeder Flugzeugwerke

But nobody has said anything about the book. The book! The Book! Allow me to say that I've had it for years. It's a beautiful piece of work. When I first got it, I sort of yawned and went on. But as the years have passed, it has become more and more useful and intriguing. This work is probably the best treatment ever of a wartime German (read Austrian) aircraft plant, with the possible exception of Peter Scholl on Messerschmitt/Regensburg. Not a book for modellers, but one really gets a powerful sense of what it was all about from dozens of splendid photos of workers, assembly lines, factory life, and so forth. Reproductions of contemporary documents are most interesting, too. All in all, a wonderful book, highly recommended!
