Though it has been a while since volume one was published, the long awaited volume two is now here. This picks up where the previous edition left off and continues with fighter projects. In here you will find Heinkel, Henschel, Horton, Junkers, Lippisch, Messerschmitt and the lesser aviation companies.

As with the previous book, this one covers all the various projects that each company worked on. This not only includes paper projects but those where perhaps only a single prototype were completed; basically those that did not reach production. While most will think of jet or rocket aircraft, the scope of these books is not limited to that and does include some interesting piston engine projects as well.

Each aircraft project is accompanies with superb line drawings of the aircraft and there are several performance tables also included. One of the real highlights of the book is a section in the back that has full color computer renderings of some of these fascinating aircraft.

In all, a truly interesting book that reads very easily and is sure to spark your imagination. Highly recommended.
