Sharks Of The Air: Willy Messerschmitt And The Development Of History's First Operational Jet Fighter

Sharks of the Air tells the story of Willy Messerschmitt’s life, and shows how this aeronautical genius built many revolutionary airplanes — not excluding the Luftwaffe’s mainstay, the Me-109 — and culminating in the Me-262. It describes how his various warplanes fought in Spain, Poland, France, Britain, the U.S.S.R., and over Germany, and it provides thrilling accounts of air battles drawn from combat reports and interviews with veterans.
