About the Book

A highly capable twin-engined destroyer, fighter-bomber, and night fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 110 (unofficially the Me 110) was, in Hermann Göring’s estimation, the pick of the Luftwaffe’s offensive fighters. 
 Drawing on the personal recollections of pilots and aircrew, as well as the individual histories of principal units and non-Luftwaffe operators, 'The Messerschmitt Bf 110 Story' charts the aircraft’s operational service in Poland, the Battle of Britain, North Africa, and the Eastern Front. It offers deep technical analysis on the aircraft’s design and performance alongside competitors, such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 57 and Henschel Hs 124, and opponents, like the French Potez 630/631 series and Polish PZL.38. The few Bf 110s that have survived in preservation are also explored in this comprehensive operational and technical account of the Luftwaffe’s famous Zerstörer.

Review :
"Adequately illustrated with archival photographs, the book is visually engaging. It is a useful resource for aviation enthusiasts and historians, not only for its insights into the Bf 110, but also for its broader commentary on the evolution of military aviation during one of history's most transformative eras."-- "The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation" "Aviation buffs will enjoy the aircraft history, including a thwarted French plan to bribe a disgraced German pilot to defect with a 110 (p29-30)."-- "Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"
