Bill Rose Bücher

Focusing on military aviation innovation, this book explores the history of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, detailing both experimental and operational designs. It covers German wartime projects like the Focke Wulf Treibflugel, as well as postwar developments including US Navy VTOL fighters and French experiments. The author examines various configurations, from "tail sitters" to conventional designs like the Harrier and the LockMart F-35 Lightning, making it a valuable resource for aviation enthusiasts and modelers.

This book examines lesser known, frequently secret British projects for Flying wings, deltas and tailless aircraft undertaken for research or military purposes during the last century and also covers aircraft that were actually built and in some cases entered service. It also includes the superb looking Barnes Wallace supersonic swing-wing bomber.
