The Horten Ho 229, one of the Luftwaffe's so-called wonder weapons, was one of the most enigmatic aircraft designs to emerge from World War 2. in some ways a precursor of the 'stealth' concept, when viewed in relation to its contemporaries, it was clearly years ahead of tis time. The Ho 229 was planned as the first of the next generation of German jet fighters to follow on from the Messerschmitt Me 262. The intention was to create a high-speed cannon-equipped fighterbomber and reconnaissance aircraft. The aircraft, which saw figures such as Goering, Galland and Lippish involved in its development, commenced flight-testing in December 1944 and it was planned to re-equip the Me 163-equipped JG 400 with the Ho 229 later in the war.
This book charts in detail the development and operational record of the Horten Ho 229. One of the prototypes, V3, survives in the USA and the book includes specially commissioned photographs of this survivor. With 250 fascinating photographs, plus the most extensive set of accurate scale drawings ever produced on this aircraft by internationally acclaimed draftsman, Arthur Bentley, and accompanied by computer-generated color artwork and cutaways by Andrei Shepelev, this book is the most thorough technical study of the Ho 299 ever produced. Now reprinted due to popular demand, this will be a brilliant addition to the growing library of definitive World War 2 aviation histories produced by our classic imprint.

Amazing pictures and detailed information
By John Matlock
I've been fascinated since I saw the first pictures of the Horten jet powered, wooden, flying wing from the Smithsonian collection. The stories I heard was that this was a deliberate attempt on the German's part to build a 'stealth' fighter way back at the end of the Second World War. But there has been very little published about the plane. Therefore I was delighted to find this book that covers this plane in great detail.
Clearly the plane was far ahead of its time, indeed, its design looks so much like the canceled A-12 from McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics that it's uncanny.
In reading the book, the authors make it clear that the Horten brothers were thinking of aerodynamics and scarcity of materials rather than stealth when they designed the plane. The book points out that the wooden skin of the plane would basically have been invisible to radar, but the metal frame underneath the wood would still reflect radar waves. Designers simply didn't know enough about radar at the time.
The modern American flying wings such as the B-2 bomber are stable only because of sophisticated computer controls. The book reports similar problems with the Horten plane. This might well have prevented its use for its intended use as a fighter, but we'll never know.
The authors have collected an amazing amount of information and a large number of photographs that I don't believe have been published before.

Ordering mine today...
By G. Steele
Great to see this volume back in distribution at reasonable price. Ordering my copy now. Another commenter noted Horten Brothers remain 'unknown', but there are sources for background about them out there. David Myhra did a 2-volume set (which I helped edit) on the Horten flying wings series (gliders and the Ho-IX). Basis for these books (published by Schiffer) was a large number of interviews with folks who built and test flew gliders and the V.1 version (glider) of the Ho-IX (Go-229). Myhra also spent several weeks with Reimar Horten on his ranch in Argentina, getting to know the man and learning about the intricacies of the "bell-shaped lift distribution" concept for a tailless flying wing design (to control yaw). The books are replete with photos of all the aircraft -- principally designed by Reimar as a 'series progression' of concepts to prove various theories -- including the construction of the Ho-IX powered prototype in an autobahn maintenance garage (to avoid Allied bombing attacks). Myhra's interview tapes (which formed book content) also were turned over to the National Air & Space Museum in DC and have been converted to both CDs and possibly transcribed paper copies (maybe in .Pdf format) for researchers' use. Contact the Museum for more info re: this.

Excellent Book at this price
By CyberTom
For the longest time this book was priced anywhere from $200 - $1,000 dollars. Fortunately they started reprinting this book and now mere mortals can afford to add it to their collection. I think just about anyone who has any knowledge of aviation history has to be completely amazed at the technology developed and in development by the Germans during WWII. Makes you wonder how it was possible to have all that engineering talent so concentrated and then a government which was not afraid of funding what would have seemed like far out ideas at the time. If you are a fan of Horten flying wing aircraft this is the book to own. With all of the photos and technical drawings an ambitious individual could recreate one with the amount of information provided here. Just wish video footage of the test flights were available.
