An extremely scarce and collectible set of this Classic study of the Me 262. Assisted by five other contributors as well as three illustrators, Smith and Creek have covered every facet of the development, deployment and demise of the Schwalbe in incredible detail. Each book averages 220 pages with approximately 300 photographs (many in color) and most previously unpublished. There are appendices, covering such topics as Camouflage and Markings, Luftwaffe Units, Messerschmitt Personalities and Company Organization, plus facsimiles of the Pilot's Operating Instructions. The books feature excellent color profile and oblique images of various Me-262 color schemes by illustrator Tom Tullis, many on oversize foldout pages. Operational experiences are thoroughly documented, as are the multitude of design proposals for proposed variants which were never built.ISBN Numbers are:
