520    This is the story of the Arado 234, an aircraft that on 
       one day in 1944, in the skies above Normandy, heralded the
       beginning of a new era in aviation: the jet era...
&
       #8232;For more than a century, the aviation industry has 
       experienced continual change and upheaval. Many 
       individuals have contributed to this field of 
       developmental aviation over the course of time. One of 
       these key players is Heinrich Lübbe, a man who marked
       the evolution of aerial transportation through his 
       cultivation of technological excellence. From flying 
       lessons given to him by his friend Roland Garros, to the 
       creation of the Arado business, Lübbe made a 
       significant impact and left a lasting legacy.
&
       #8232;His machines, the first jets in the world, were 
       flown by exceptional pilots such as Horst Götz and 
       Erich Sommer, known as "des moustachus" (the 
       moustachioed). In Hitler's Germany, the Arado jets were 
       put to work in a variety of contexts. Perhaps most 
       significantly, they were employed in the task of photo-
       reconnaissance during the Battle for Normandy, following 
       the iconic landings of June 1944. In this role, they 
       brought back extraordinary images from the invasion 
       beaches, revealing with astounding detail the positions 
       and plans of the allied forces.

These images,
       previously unseen by the public, shed new light on the 
       battle, whilst at the same time proving the Germans' 
       indisputable superiority in the field of jet aviation. The
       fact that American troops hastened to transfer the Arado 
       AR234 and Messerschmitt 262 to the USA to uncover all 
       their secrets post-war says a lot about how they were 
       viewed in the eyes of the enemy.

In addition 
       to many top-secret aerial images, this book is enriched 
       with around twenty photographs from the personal archives 
       of Erich Sommer, the Arado pilot, which have never before 
       been published. The book is packed with both colour and 
       black and white images and represents an impressive 
       pictorial history of the world's first jet. [Elib]
