We now have the second volume in Ingolf Meyer's series on Luftwaffe project aircraft. This concludes the Fighters and Ground Attack section with Lippisch to Zepplin. What you have is basically a very nice piece of color artwork portraying each aircraft as it could have been in service. It also includes a three view drawing of each project. The book is logically segregated by manufacturer and by project or design number. At the bottom of each page is a description of the project and there is a statistics chart provided giving the dimensions, power plant, armament, estimated performance and other information.

In common with the first book, this one is totally engrossing. As much for the camouflage and markings schemes as anything else. I also was pleased to see quite a few projects that I'd not found in other references of the type, making the book that much more useful.

Overall a superbly done book. Those who have a penchant for Luft '46 and the myriad 'what if' modelers out there will find this to be something they must have on their shelves. As such it can be most highly recommended.
