MILITARY AIRCRAFT IN DETAIL: Arado Ar 234 A

The Arado Ar-234 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.

Aimed specifically at the aviation modeller and those interested in the history of the Luftwaffe, this first volume gets the new ‘Military Aircraft in Detail’ series off to a good start and adds greatly to our knowledge of one of the most advanced aircraft which saw service during the Second World War.
