Zaloga
Featuring full-color illustrations, this detailed guide covers German missile technology from the World War II period, including the development, usage in combat, and the impact of German missile designs in the postwar era. The antiship missiles, the Henschel Hs. 293 guided missile and the Fritz-X guided bomb were the first German missiles to see combat and were used in the Mediterranean in 1943. Seen as a threat, the Allies worked to develop electronic counter-measures. The Luftwaffe also deployed new air defense missiles to counter the bomber threat, including the Wasserfal, Schmetterling, and others. 48 pages, 7″x 9 ¾”, softcover.
