Aircraft of the Aces - Messerschmitt Bf110 Zerstorer Aces of WWII

The German Messerschmitt Bf 110 is a twin-engine Zerstorer (destroyer) of WW2. This book covers the fighting of the Zerstorers and its aces in Poland, Denmark, Norway, France, the low countries, Russia, North Africa, Italy, and Finland, where the the Bf 110 served with considerable success especially in the early campaigns. It also covers the Battle of the German Bight, and the Battle of Britain, where the lack of maneuverability, its greatest weakness, was exploited by the RAF when Bf 110s were flown as close escort to German Bombers. After the battle of Britain it primary role as a Zerstorer started to fade off but the Bf-110 would find new life as an excellent Night-Fighter... but that story is covered in another book of this series. This book has lots of pictures, and the color plates are nice because they show how the planes were painted in that combat scenarios, and also in color plates, it has illustrations of the aces in combat uniforms. Highly recommended.
