- Axis Aircraft in Latin America
Following World War I, and aided by the many German and Italian immigrants, the aviation industry of Latin America developed their first commercial airlines from Axis pre-WWII aircraft. While Latin American commercial aviation was greatly influenced by the German aviation industry, its military aviation focused pimarily on Italian combat aircraft. This new book features many famous Axis aircraft from the inter-war period, including the Junkers Ju 52/3m and F.13 transports, the Dornier Do J Wal flying boat, the Focke Wulf Fw 58 Weihe, the Fiat CR.20 fighter, as well as the only Japanese type, the Mitsubishi Betty. This colorful and detailed history will be of interest to WWII aviation enthusiasts and modelers alike.
