The author, H.P. (Hans-Peter) Dabrowski, has to date written two books on the subject of German all-wing aircraft and the pioneers Reimar and Walter Horten: this one and "Flying Wings of the Horten Brothers" (FWOTHB), also published by Schiffer. At 52 pages (counting the reverse of both the front and rear covers. This volume, typical of Schiffer books, is short on text and long on photographs. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since the target audience for these books are model-builders needing a reference with lots of different views of the aircraft both built-up and under construction. This book does not disappoint, it is packed with black and white photos of numerous Horten aircraft, beginning with their early H-V propeller-driven experimental plane and the variants which followed it, culminating in their final "V3" version of the cutting-edge H-IX/Go-229 twin-jet fighter. This last aircraft sat uncompleted, for U.S. troops to discover in April 1945, after the Germans abandoned the Gotha Works plant at Friederichsroda. it features color pictures of Horten aircraft: three pictures of the H-VII during its 1944 test flight, and two pictures of the H-IX as it looked in Silver Hill, Maryland USA where it still sits in storage, awaiting restoration.
