Synopsis

The Messerschmitt Bf 110, was designed in the middle of the thirties. After a relatively convincing start in Poland in September 1939, the performance of the Zerstörer (destroyer) units, declined rapidly with heavy losses, so much so that at the end of the Battle of Britain it was decided to withdraw the Bf 110s from service and cease production. After the failure of its designated successor, the Me 210, the Bf 110 started a second career which was indeed infinitely more glorious since it scored more kills not only than any other Luftwaffe night-fighter but also more than all the aircraft of this type in all the air forces fighting in World War Two...

About this title

Review:

“Utilizing a combination of well known and not so well known images that narrative provides a great introduction to the 110,210, and 410 with enough anecdotal insights to keep those well versed in the 110 interested... plenty of profiles for inspiration and a chart outlining the characteristics that distinguish each variant, this will prove a valuable asset...” (Scale Aviation Modeller International)
