Overview
An illustrated study of the evolving tactics that powered the deadly clashes between the RAF's Typhoon Mk IB fighter-bomber and the Flakwaffe's defending anti-aircraft arsenal.
The Flakwaffe's role was to protect the Wehrmacht's men, machines and material from aerial attack. Opposing them was the RAF's 2nd Tactical Air Force (TAF), whose fighter-bomber spear was tipped with the Typhoon Mk IB, a fighter modified beyond its original intent. The tactics and weaponry of both adversaries evolved as each sought to outdraw the other, with 'Bombphoon' and rocket Typhoon squadrons combining their efforts whilst the Flakwaffe laid deadly traps in fields and on trucks and railway wagons.
In this engrossing study, Typhoon expert Matthew Bone chronicles the exploits of the 2nd TAF's fighter-bombers and the Flakwaffe arsenal into whose crosshairs they ventured. Drawing on contemporary records of Typhoon operations and historical details of Flak crews, this detailed account utilises newly commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams to shed fresh light on the tactical development of both sides, and the price the RAF ultimately paid for victory.
