Description

The Messerschmitt Me 264 Amerika Bomber: A Secret Weapon for a New War In the midst of World War II, Hitler ordered the development of a highly advanced aircraft capable of attacking cities in the United States. The Messerschmitt Me 264 was chosen from designs submitted by top German manufacturers, and its ultra-long range made it an ideal candidate to bomb American targets. The aircraft's intended role was to play a significant part in a "new war" against the USA, as Hitler had promised to wage after his victories in Europe. This book provides a detailed analysis of the Me 264's development, its intended use, and its impact on the course of history. With stunning digital artwork and rare archival photographs, Robert Forsyth sheds new light on this fascinating piece of aviation history. The book offers a unique insight into one of the most intriguing and ambitious projects of World War II, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in military history, aviation, or the complexities of the war effort.
