KURT TANK: FOCKE-WULF'S DESIGNER AND TEST PILOT

This book discusses the life work of one of Germany's greatest aircraft designers in pictures, tables, drawings and in his own words. Examined are the ideas and thinking that formed the foundation of Tank's designs - his masterpieces in long-range and high-speed flight as well as flight test results. A mixture of technical history, flight testing and previously unpublished data enable the reader to catch a fascinating glimpse of the aircraft built during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as Tank's post-war efforts. All of the classic Focke-Wulf designs are to be found here.
