GERMAN SECRET FLIGHT TEST CENTERS TO 1945
Book Type: C, O By H. Beauvais. This is a major piece of research by a group of German authors, some of whom were involved at the same time, into the establishment and activities of government flight-test centers in Germany from the 1920's to the end of WWII. The authors begin with the secret testing in cooperation with the Red Army in the 1920s/30s. The book addresses the major locations where testing was conducted, including Johannisthal, Lipetsk, Rechlin, Travemunde, Tarnewitz and Peenemunde-West, and other less well known locations. The book draws on an extensive collection of photographs and documents, many taken from previously unpublished sources. There are also comprehensive listings of the aircraft used, with such details as Werknummern, markings and engines. There are similarly detailed lists of personnel and the various research and test units. This book is a remarkable piece of work, and the details on experimental aircraft produced and tested is magnificent. Includes 270 b/w photos, sketches and 8 pages of color. 272 pp.
