SynopsisDetailed in its coverage and with much illustrative material drawn from a wide range of largely private sources, 'Merrerschmitt ME 264 Amerikabomber' is destined to become the definitive work on these aircraft. It will be of interest to modellers and historians alike., In 1939, the German Air Ministry asked aircraft manufacturers for proposals for an "Amerikabomber," an ultra-long-range, four-engined aircraft capable of attacking the United States from airfields in Germany. Projects were tendered by Junkers, Focke-Wulf, and Messerschmitt. The latter proposed the Me 264 and Messerschmitt's personal influence was such that he was not only allowed to go ahead with the design, but was also given an immediate order for three aircraft. Using original German documentation and rare photographs, this book details the story of the remarkable Amerikabomber projects. Aircraft types featured in the book include the Me 264, the Ta 400, Fw 238, Ju 390 and the jet-powered Ho XVIII B flying wing. The book also examines the reality behind the myth associated with Germany's atomic bomb carrier., The history of the controversial Messerschmitt Me 264 Amerikabomber project, which was intended to bomb New York and other American Cities. The research is based on original German documentation and rare photographs.
