Does anyone know if any books dealing exclusively with the FW-187 Falke have been published? I'm looking for a solid study of this aircraft, preferably with three-view plans/blueprints. Thinking of testing my scratch-building skills at the model bench . . .

FW-187 Falke
Do you read German? There is an article about the Fw187 in Flugzeug Classic Nov/Dec 2001 which goes into quite a good depth of detail about the aircraft. Their E-mail address is [email protected] and if you have problems or they have no back-copies available I would be happy to send you a copy of the article.(There are no drawings however).
On re-reading the magazine I quoted above I found an advertisement for a book about the Fw187 by Dietmar Hermann (who is the author of the article in the magazine) and Peter Petrick obtainable from the same publisher. I also found the E-mail for the Customer Service division which deals with back-issues: [email protected]. The Catalogue number of the book is 75402 and the price quoted is 25,50 Euros. I hope that this will help.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll let you know how things go with the scratch-building project.

Fw 187 Book
The book mentioned in this thread is:
"Focke-Wulf Fw 187 - Der Vergessene Hochleistungsjäger", by Dietmar Hermann & Peter Petrick, Aviatic Verlag GmbH, Oberhaching, Germany, 2001, ISBN 3-925505-66-0.
It is an absolute marvel, and without doubt the ultimate reference work on this aircraft. I find it hard to imagine that a better book will ever be published on this type, especially given that the Fw 187 is something of an "insider" aircraft.
The book is in the usual Aviatic large format, it contains some 160 pages (text in German) and a wealth of b/w photos, many of them very rare or previously unpublished. Among the photos are countless detail photos (interior and exterior, engines, construction, armament). There are also two large format color profiles.
HTH, best regards,
Tom
