About the Book

This book charts in detail the development and operational record of the Horten Ho229. One of the prototypes, V3, survives in the USA and the book will include specially commissioned photographs of this survivor. In total, the book will have some 200 photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, alongside highly detailed drawings, the latter produced by Arthur Bentley, another leading authority on the Horten design.

About the Author :
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.

Review :
Charting the genesis and development of the design, using 250 photographs, the title presents the most comprehensive study of this flying wing ever produced. Incorporating the most extensive and accurate technical drawings, this book offers an insight that will benefit modellers and impress aviation enthusiasts. The HO 229 had many unconventional features as did its predecessors and the book describes and illustrates them all with photographs and detailed drawings...A very interesting and thought-provoking book. An authoritative text and detailed line drawings complete this very thorough production, a worthwhile investment as a companion to ZM's forthcoming kit.
