Secret Wings of World War II: Nazi Technology and the Allied Arms Race

The history of Germany's contributions to state-of-the art aviation engineering since World War II. There are many myths and legends surrounding the advanced German aeronautical technology of the Second World War. There are also facts and proven events. Yet within these stories and behind these facts lie conspiracy theories, mistaken assumptions and denials that seem to contradict the evidence. So what really happened? How far ahead were the German scientists? And, of even greater interest, why and how? There have been other books about advanced German wartime aeronautics, yet few authors have fully examined the detail of the designs and their relevance to the fighter and bomber legends of the 1950s and '60s, let alone the current crop of military and civil all-wing or blended-wing aircraft. Secret Wings of World War II charts the story from its origins, through current-day innovations and beyond, into the all-wing future of tomorrow.
