When the revolutionary twin jet powered Arado Arfirst appeared in the skies over north west Europe in the summer of, it represented the state of the art in terms of aeronautical and technical development.
The Arwas a formidable aircraft powered by JumoBs, the same engine used by the Me, and with a maximum speed ofkm/h and range ofkm/h, it was very difficult for the Allies to "catch.
" Here was a machine that with its superior speed could operate with impunity as both a bomber and in the reconnaissance role,

As such, the aircraft became the world's first reconnaissance jet, undertaking secret, high speed,

high altitude observation missions for the German High Command over the Allied beachheads in Normandy and other Allied strongholds.
Astonishingly, in Septemberand as late as, lone Ars conducted reconnaissance flights over British ports and the Mediterranean, The aircraft was equally efficient as a jet bomber although the ArBbomber variant carried no defensive gun armament, it was able to deliverkg of bombs at high speed and at either low or high level with considerable and devastating accuracy.


This highly detailed title from renowned aviation historian Robert Forsyth explores the history of this incredible aircraft, from its development in the earlys to its deployment in both reconnaissance and bomber roles throughout the rest of the war.
