The Arado Ar 234C was the world's first four turbojet-powered flying
machine to be built in series. But it was more than that, and its design
and testing raised great hopes among the Nazis. The Ar 234 was nothing
less than Adolf Hitler's long awaited "Engländer Bomber." Powered by
four BMW 003A-1 turbojet engines, with a combined thrust of 7,040
pounds, early test results indicated that it could reach speeds of over
550 mph even when loaded with tons of high explosive bombs and/or guided
missiles. This complete illustrated history contains over 570
photographs and line drawings.
