Messerchmitt Me 410

This is the illustrated story of the World War Two Me410 twin-engine fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, which the Luftwaffe High Command commissioned as the successor to the Bf110 "heavy fighter" and the ultimate version of the experimental Me210. In all, 1,160 aircraft were built and the final years of the war the Me410 valiantly defended Germany against the incessant raids of Allied bombers.

This work features: scale plans; photographs and drawings from technical manuals; walk-around colour photographs; b+w archive photographs; rarely documented aspect of World War Two aviation history covering a lesser know but significant Luftwaffe aircraft; and superb colour illustrations of camouflage and markings, detailed colour photographs of surviving aircraft and period wartime b+w photographs.

It is an essential reading for aviation enthusiasts and scale aero-modellers.
