MESSERSCHMITT Me262 Luftwaffe Jet Fighter Famous Airplanes Of World Book FAOW 2

Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and very recently obtained in Tokyo is an earlier volume from the well-regarded FAMOUS AIRCRAFT OF THE WORLD (FAOW) Black Cover series: Number 2, January 1987, “MESSERSCHMITT Me 262.” The Me 262 was the first combat jet fighter and flew its first operational missions in August of 1944, eventually racking up 509 claimed kills. Unfortunately for Germany, the aircraft’s operational introduction was delayed by a number of factors, and by the time it saw service, it was a question of too little, too late. The FAOW series began publication in the late 1960s and are highly illustrated monographs focusing on a specific aircraft or family of aircraft. Text is in Japanese, but the photographs, scale line drawings, cut-away drawings, cockpit diagrams, close-up detail drawings and profiles help transcend the written word and have appealed to aircraft researchers and hobbyists to this day. The formats and covers have slightly changed over the years. Originally, the FAOW covers were White and beginning in 1971, changed to Blue. In 1979, the FAOW covers changed to a Chart or Graph-paper background, and then in 1986, changed to the current Black Cover series. This Black Cover softcover volume on the Me 262 is 96 pages long, 7.25 x 10.25 inches in size, and provides exceptional coverage with 15 pages of color photographs and drawings. Condition of this FAOW is overall FAIR+ -- the dust jacket shows shelf wear but internally, the book is LIKE NEW -- tight, bright, and very clean!
