Description: *Me 262 Bomber and Reconnaissance Units *Osprey Combat Aircraft #83 *Written by Robert Forsyth *Published by Osprey Publishing *Trade Paperback *2012 *Measures 9 3/4" x 7 1/4" x 1/4" with 96 pages *Illustrated *This book comes from the estate of an avid military book collector. *Taken from the back cover: When the Me 262 first appeared as a bomber in the skies over northwest Europe in late 1944, it represented both a new dawn in aeronautical development and a great shock to the Allied air forces and armies. There was nothing that the RAF or USAAF had in their inventories that could touch it. From the autumn of 1944 bomb-carrying Me 262s conducted hit-and-run raids against RAF airfields in Belgium and Holland, often using single or formations of two aircraft, carrying SD-2 anti-personnel bombs. KG 51 was the most tactically effective Me 262 bomber force, conducting operations against targets in Belgium and Holland, as well as against enemy troop concentrations at Arnhem. As late 1944 passed into 1945, the Me 262s of KG 51 proved to be a real thorn in the side of Allied ground operations. First appearing in November 1944 were a small number of Me 262A-1a/U3 reconnaissance aircraft. Although modest in number (never usually more than six aircraft), the Me 262 recce force quickly provided German commanders on the Western Front with valuable information on Allied movements and dispositions. *This book is in excellent like new condition.
