Unavailable for some time and now reprinted due to popular demand, an outstanding history of the Ho229, one of the most enigmatic aircraft designs to emerge from World War 2.
This is the first book for Classic by Andrei Shepelev and Huib
Ottens, both acknowledged experts on Horton aircraft.
Andrei Shepelev has been interested in aviation, especially in
unconventional and lesser-known designs, from an early age. He is
an authority on BMW/Jumo jet-powered all-wing aircraft. Based in
Russia, the curator/archivist of a regional aircraft museum, he has
studied the Horten projects for many years and published articles
on them in Russia. He not only relies on German design and test
records but has also unearthed much unknown information on the
concept, its design and construction from previously unknown
sources.
Huib Ottens, who lives in Holland has been researching the history
of the Horten Brothers and their flying wing designs for some 20
years.
