Focke-Wulf FW 187

More about the book

Focusing on a largely forgotten fighter, this book explores the Focke-Wulf Fw 187, developed by Professor Kurt Tank and first flown in 1937. Notably faster than its contemporaries, it was initially intended for record attempts that were halted by the war. The aircraft's fortunes fluctuated due to the failure of the Me 210, yet it never received a production contract despite its impressive speed of 700 km/h. Richly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and drawings, this work is essential for aviation enthusiasts and modelers, highlighting a significant chapter in German aviation history.
