Die Marinefliegerei ist eine hoch anspruchsvolle Art der Militärluftfahrt und für Länder mit Seeküste unabdingbar, auch für Deutschland. Das spiegelt sich vor allem in der technischen Entwicklung und den damals wie heute eingesetzten Luftfahrzeugen wider.
Dieser Band stellt die spannende Geschichte der deutschen Marinefliegerei dar - von den Anfängen der Luftfahrt bis in die Gegenwart, durch die beiden Weltkriege und die Zeit der deutschen Teilung hindurch bis heute. Von Doppeldeckern über Luftschiffe, Hubschrauber, Aufklärer und Kampfbomber - Ulf Kaack geht hier in thematischer Tiefe und Vollständigkeit auf alle Marineflieger ein.
Ab 1917 wurden in Deutschland Grossflugzeuge als strategische Bomber gebaut. Dabei handelte es sich um meist viermotorige Doppeldecker, deren Flügelspannweite bereits 1918 an die 50 m betrug - und das nur wenige Jahre nach Beginn der eigentlichen Motorfliegerei. Manche Bomber des Ersten Weltkriegs verfügten bereits über einen Abwurfmechanismus, mit dem die am unteren Flügel oder am Rumpf angebrachten Bomben ausgeklinkt wurden.
Jörg Mückler, ausgewiesener Experte auf dem Gebiet, zeichnet das Bild eines faszinierenden Kapitels der deutschen Luftfahrtgeschichte - illustriert mit spannendem und meist unveröffentlichtem Bildmaterial.
