Rotorcraft of the Third Reich

The technical problems involved in developing practical helicopters were studied and largely solved by German designers in the late 30s and the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine used rotorcraft operationally in a variety of roles during WWII. This book describes the development and use of autogyros and helicopters up to 1945, plus the post-war use of German machines and their influence on later helicopter designs in other countries. 1:72 scale plans. Variant profiles. 26 colour profiles. 131 b/w & 26 colour photos.
