A welcome monograph on a less well known German typeBy Jim DavisI think every aeronautical publisher believes "You can't go wrong with Germany in World War II". Certainly Polish publisher Kagero believes it; most of its "Monographs" series (of which this is number 45) are of German types.We get a break from the well known types this time. In the present book the subject is the Arado Ar 196, the shipboard floatplane. (I have been interested in German aircraft of this period for over 40 years. I wish some author would tell me how Arado is pronounced!)In any event, the monograph is excellent. The 104 pages comprise a background, design, development, and service history, a section of superb line drawings, and some color profiles. Unusually, we also get a number of pages of contemporary technical manual drawings. All is first rate.The service history leans very heavily on the memoirs of Ulrich Pietsch, who flew as commander and observer in the Admiral Scheer's Ar 196 during its highly successful patrol as a commerce raider. It's a fascinating account; one finds oneself in the uncomfortable position of rooting for the Germans.
