Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Details
Good details on the aircraft, but I would have enjoyed more details on the men who flew them, and the conditions they flew in.
Rating: - Rating Opponents: Interesting Idea...Needs Work!
P-51 MUSTANG VS FW 190 is the first in Osprey's new 'Duel' series, an interesting concept that compares Allied fighters, tanks and ships to their corresponding opponents.

Rating:  - Tells of the history of a classic duel
P-51 MUSTANG VS. FW 190 EUROPE 1943-45 by Martin Bowman tells of the history of a classic duel as American and German pilots fought each other over Europe, offering the first in a new series to describe the design and deployment of these fighters. Any collection strong in military aircraft history will welcome the specifics on combat training, strengths and weaknesses of different fighters, and key elements of plane design.
Rating: - great new series concept - material a little lame
..I think I like the series concept - the comparative context is certainly interesting - but this title is something of a misnomer since the comparison between the two types is difficult to draw. If anything the prinicpal opponents of the P-51 over Germany were the light, agile, power -boosted Bf 109 in its G-6/AS & G-10 variants brought together in 'leichte Gruppen' to defend the Fw 190 as they went up against the bombers.
