Description
You are bidding on a FANTASTIC and EXTRAORDINARILY RARE example of a 100% ORIGINAL WW2 German Luftwaffe Assessment of Enemy Aircraft Armor, titled, “Passiver Flugzeug Schutz bei Künftigen Jagdflugzeug vom Konstrukteur aus gesehen”! This was produced by Messerschmitt AG.
This is an AMAZING and EXTRAORDINARILY RARE reference. Specifically covering the armor protection in British and American aircraft, it features a 16 page report, along with 3 photos; 7 charts; and 7 overhead transparencies! Includes various notations, instructions, descriptions, and diagrams. Produced around 1944, it is marked with the following:
“Passiver Flugzeug Schutz bei Künftigen
Jagdflugzeug vom Konstrukteur aus gesehen”
(Passive aircraft protection for the future
fighter plane seen from the designer)
Printed in a LARGE A4 format. Has some marks, wear, and folds due to the age, but nothing that detracts. Covers the Me109 E/F, as well as the P-51 Mustang, Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, Westland Whirlwind, Curtiss Kittyhawk / Mohawk, Airacobra; and DeHavilland Mosquito. Photos 4 and 12 (along with the corresponding transparencies) are missing from this report, but it is otherwise complete. A VERY RARE item, it would make a SUPERB addition to any collection or display!
