Some proposals were destined never to leave the drawing board, while others not only underwent trials but were issued to operational units and used in action. <p/>In this fascinating new book, leading Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth examines the many different types of weapons that comprised the Luftwaffe's increasing potent arsenal during the second half of the war. This was the period that saw the development and adoption of aerial torpedoes, wire-guided rockets and missiles, batteries fired by photo-electric cells, chemical weapons, composite bombers, and air-launched flying bombs.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Forsyth</b> has studied the history and operations of the Luftwaffe for many years.
