Considered to be the best known German bomber of the Second Wold War, the Heinkel He 111 served in every military front in the European theatre, having first being deployed in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It then saw extensive service in the invasion of Poland, the Norweigan campaign and the invasion of the Low Countries and France in 1940.

When the Luftwaffe was tasked with destroying Britain’s ability to resist invasion in 1940, the He 111 formed almost half of the Gruppen employed by Luftflotte 2 and Luftflotte 3. When the Luftwaffe switched to attacking cities and industrial sites the Heinkel 111 was widely employed, with raids against targets such as London, Coventry, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool.

In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, the operations of this famous aircraft in the early years of the war – particularly the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg in the West, the Battle of Britain and the very early stages of the Blitz – are portrayed and brought to life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Not all historically accurate books make for good modellers' books too but this one does, not only offering loads of possible modelling subjects, but loads of close-up detail shots. I can unreservedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in World War Two, the Luftwaffe in general, or He 111 in particular... you will not be disappointed!"
IPMS/USA March/April 2017

"Chris Goss has produced a characteristically fine record of one of the Luftwaffe's mainstay aircraft of the entire period of the Second World War - the Heinkel 111 bomber...... The book comes highly recommended by the Britain at War team."
Britain at War April 2017

    Great book on the He-111 bomber. A good pictorial early history on it. It lacks the details on the mechanical side of the subject but that's ok, I have other books to cover that aspect of the subject matter.

    Excellent Photos on Early versions of He-111 with notes on many crew members. Organized quite well. The book would be outstanding if it had color profiles Side, Top and Bottom, as well as The same details in line drawings. The book is a valuable addition for you.

    And quite a lot of info too. About the same size as an Osprey paperback, but thicker. This particular edition includes a lot of black and white photos of crashed 111s (that's a good thing) mostly from the fields and beaches of England, and each photo has a little blurb. Very good and highly recommended.

    … teilweise neu für mich. Kurze Texte in englischer Sprache dazu, nicht unbedingt schwierig zu lesen. Das Buch ist eine schöne Ergänzung in der Privatbibliothek. Nicht unbedingt langweilig durchzusehen, aber aufgrund der überdurchschnittlich hohen Anzahl an Absturz- und Wrackphotos dann doch etwas ermüdend ... egal … ;-)
