THE LATEST offering from the Air War Archive is Chris Goss’ [i]Heinkel He 111: The Latter Years[/i] and this collection of fascinating images follows an aeronautical icon into the heart of military darkness. Covering the years from the Blitz to the demise of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Reich, but unlike titles on the Luftwaffe before it, Goss’ work, which is the second instalment on the place, produces a crunching impact on the reader. The lack of editorial content, minus an introduction and photographic captions, creates a deathly chill as you slowly follow this outdated and outmoded aircraft and its crews to its final destruction in the ashes, after an initial stumble and proof of weakness in the Blitz. Opening images taken from over Europe are of almost casual unfettered flights, without the need for fighter support. Personnel pose in front of their beloved 111 in Schipol, Holland and all seems well, there are some excellent images of rebuilt aircraft f e a t u r i n g Jumo 211F-1 engines.. Read more
