Luftwaffe technological innovations in WW2

Post by panzermahn »

Hi all

Is there is any books or histories that deals with Luftwaffe technological innovations in WW2? Those like guided missiles and rocket technology are well known but I am particularly interested in stuffs such as

1. Remote controlled backward firing machine guns (I think this was implemented in Me 210/410 and also the Uhu night fighter)

2. Ejection seats (I believed this was first implemented in the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil)

3. Television guided HS-293

4. Radio control sets and joystick apparatus for the radio-guided and wire guided missiles

5. Gyroscope and navigation systems HS-293

Many thanks
Panzermahn

I had thought the Uhu was a Recce Plane and not night fighter.......
Only he is lost who gives himself up as lost.

Panzermahn is refering to the He-219 Uhu night fighter rather than the Fw-189 Uhu recce aircraft.
