Messerschmitt Me 210/Me 410 Hornet Classic Publications

Friends,

what is your view on that book on Willy Messerschmitt's failure to produce a useable successor for the old 110-Zerstörer type?

Is it worth buying as it was produced by Classic publications?

Regards,
Stefan

Do you have the Zerstörer book by Petrick, Mankau et al from Aviatic/Schiffer? In my opinion the Aviatic/Schiffer book is much superior to the Classic one, though the latter is quite OK too.

Jukka,

i have the Aviatic one. I thought that one might be obsolete now after the Classic publication print came out.

I understand that is not the case?

Regards,
Stefan

I haven't compared them side by side, but the text of the newer book appears to be a greatly condensed version of the ext in Aviatic. Whereas the Aviatic reproduces many of the minutes verbatim, the newer one doesn't, and that is a great pity IMHO. Illustrations do differ, however. But, as far as text goes, I did not discover anything new in the newer book, while plenty of what was in the old isn't in the new one.

Jukka,

thank you very much for your feedback.

Stefan
