Messerschmitt, Aircraft Designer by Armand Van Ishoven-This hardcover was published in 1975. This is both a biography of Professor Willy Messerschmitt, as well as an in-depth look at both the aircraft types and projects they were involved with. This is a first edition, with original dustcover that does show some wear and some edge tearing. The 216 pages and photos in this book are still very clean. The book itself is in very good condition.
