Wings Of The Luftwaffe (1987) By Capt. Eric Brown & William Green
The book contains fascinating accounts of how the aircraft were acquired and ferried by to Farnborough UK for testing - sometimes using captured German pilots - and the meticulous way Eric Brown tested the aircraft. The accounts of the flying and the testing of the German jet aircraft - ME 262 and the Arado AR 234 - are extremely interesting, especially bearing in mind the German Jet engines had a maximum life of just 25 hours.
From his unique knowledge of German aviation, Brown has selected the most important & most promising aircraft employed by the Luftwaffe and those evolved for that air arm in Germany during WW2. Covers 17 aircraft inc. He 162, Me 262, Ar 234B, FW 189, He 111 & Me 163. Inc. many exploded views & excellent Cockpit Detail.
