{"product_id":"junkers-ju-287-horst-lommel-9780764320590","title":"Junkers Ju 287: The World's First Swept-Wing Jet Aircraft","description":"In the summer of 1944, as the Second World War drew to a close, an unusual airplane took to the skies over Leipzig-Brandis on its maiden flight. It was the prototype version of the Ju 287 V1, a four-engine jet bomber. With its forward swept wings, the design was a critical milestone in the annals of aviation technology and made the Ju 287 the first swept-wing design in the world. One of the world's most interesting airplanes is revealed through many previously unpublished reports, photographs and drawings. It is an airplane whose revolutionary design played a major role in the postwar development of jet aircraft, in both the East and the West. This book fills a gap in the material covering the first chapter of the jet era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Horst Lommel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764320599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764320590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 8.79w x 0.91d","brand":"Horst Lommel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072742879487,"sku":"9780764320590","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27217ec4-d7d8-4244-983a-0e2252403eff.jpg?v=1685443751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/junkers-ju-287-horst-lommel-9780764320590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
