MILITARY AIRCRAFT IN DETAIL No 1 ARADO Ar234A

The Arado Ar234 was the first purpose-built jet bomber. Although the prototypes were completed largely by the end of 1941, delays in the supply of the engines meant that it was not until July 1943 that the type first flew. By the end of the war more than 220 of the type had been constructed, although only a small proportion of these had actually entered service. This book provides a detailed history of the development and operations of the type supported by many photographs, line drawings and specially commissioned artworks. The camouflage schemes applied to the aircraft are also examined. Many of the illustrations are previously unpublished making the book an essential addition to the limited range of publications available on this important aircraft type.
