CONTENT:
Kurt Tank was without doubt one of Germany's foremost aircraft designers, responsible for some of the finest products of the German aviation industry, before and during World War II. The range of aircraft types produced by the Focke-Wulf concern was prodigious, covering small biplane trainers, advanced fighters and long-range passenger aircraft, all of which were highly successful designs. Tank was, however, a man of his times and this album of personal photos gives an idea of the sights and events which interested and surrounded him in the momentous early years of World War II. All the pictures in this book came from Tank's own album, the images being scanned from photographs specially printed from the original 35mm negatives. All are accompanied by highly detailed captions and descriptive text.

AUTHOR NOTES: Roy Powell and Barry Ketley have both been long fascinated by the Luftwaffe in general and the aircraft of Kurt Tank in particular, and this book is the result of their painstaking detective work.
