Description
During the occupation, the Germans were able to take advantage of the capabilities of the French aeronautical industry.
The country’s factories and engineers, who possessed first-rate expertise in aeronautics, were used by the occupying forces to alleviate the workload burdening German manufacturers and their design offices.
The authors study here the case of the strategic bombers developed in France: He 274 and Ju 488. The latter, whose first prototype was under construction at the end of the war, did not have a follow-up, whereas the former, of which two prototypes were built, had a post-war career under the French colors and served until 1953.
These topics have already been addressed in articles, but this time Alain Marchand and Jean-Christophe Carbonel offer you a complete and in-depth study, accompanied by 1/72 scale plans and colour profiles.
