| Description: | Select Guide Rating A volume devoted to the twin-engined Bf 110 day fighter aces, spanning World War II, from Poland to the defence of the Reich. The detailed text explains the conflict and tactics flown, tables of the units involved and full ace listings. This volume is the first of its type to be devoted exclusively to the Zerstörer day fighter aces, spanning the war years from Poland to the defence of the Reich. Although Messerschmitt''s single-engined Bf 109 has received most of the plaudits for achieving virtual air superiority over Europe in 1939-40, the exploits of the manufacturer''s twin-engined Bf 110, the Ju 88 and the Me 410 Zerstörer in the first year of the war also make for very impressive reading. Indeed, on the eve of World War 2 a posting to a Bf 110 unit was considered to be the best career move available in the Luftwaffe. |
