Aircraft of the Third Reich Volume 1: Arado to Focke-Wulf - William Green

SCARCE!!

Excellent title!

Many of us remember the late William Green, who was a prolific author of military aviation concentrating on the design and technical development of aircraft rather than service and/or combat histories.  His magnum opus was undoubtedly ‘Warplanes of the Third Reich’, originally published in 1970. This book is an updated and improved version of that classic work, the first of three planned books on the subject. With the 2nd and 3rd volumes this was supposed to be the ultimate reference on everything the Luftwaffe has ever flown. Not only it includes domestic production, it includes captured aircraft and production aircraft of occupied countries. Unfortunately though, the publishers went bust just before the second volume was to be released, and it now sits on someone’s hard-drive awaiting a buyer…

The book cost £60 on release and is already fetching high prices on sites such as Amazon.

Here’s an Amazon customer review (2010) which gives the book 5/5: The words are NOT my own and are for descriptive purposes only.

Many of us are familiar with the original editions of William Green's classic 'Aircraft of the Third Reich'. This new version (volume one of three) retains Mr Green's interesting and authoritative text and adds many new photographs, diagrams and aircraft cutaways. The presentation of Mr Green's work is also much improved; the text is cleanly laid out (in the original editions, the text is closely packed and, sometimes, difficult to read) and the illustrations are clearly defined. A very welcome addition to the work is the presentation of a large number of aircraft colour-schemes, very useful for the aircraft modeller.

The first part of this volume provides a definitive essay on the rise and fall of the Luftwaffe. The rest of the volume is a comprehensive review of the aircraft of the manufacturers Arado to Focke-Wulf (including, inter alia, Airspeed, Bachem, Blohm & Voss, Consolidated, Dornier and Fiesler).

The aircraft histories are detailed but clear. As an example, the progression from the Do17 to the Do215 and Do 217 is clearly laid out, including the details of sub types (such as missile carriers, night-fighters, high altitude bombers, reconnaissance, etc). The part of the volume that deals with the Fw 190, its sub-types and derivatives (the D9 and Ta 152) are particularly impressive.

This new volume is a relatively expensive book. However, having purchased it, I am sure that it will be my first, and often referred to, point of reference for German aircraft of WW2.

Highly recommended!

SHIPPING:  OVERSEAS ITEMS WORTH LESS THAN €150 / £135 From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ends. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to VAT/tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number, although this is optional. From 1 July, eBay should provide me with an IOSS number once you have completed checkout. I will then make sure this number is visible on your parcel. This is to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you - these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you have won an item at open auction, then the final tax amount will not be visible until bidding ends. If you are purchasing a 'buy it now' item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout. This rule covers items less worth than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below. Some countries such as Australian (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so customers in these countries will in most cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax. current VAT rates for books can be seen here: https://www.internationalpublishers.org/our-work/vat-and-fixed-book-price/printed-books-and-vat-gst SHIPPING: OVERSEAS ORDER WORTH MORE THAN €150 / £135 If your order - whether an individual item or multiple items - is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands - in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will update my listings.
