About the author
David Myhra is an aviation historian specializing in German aircraft design of the Second World War, particularly the flying-wing aircraft developed by the Horten brothers. His books, published by Schiffer Publishing, include The Horten Brothers and Their All-Wing Aircraft (1997), based in part on his direct conversations with Reimar Horten, and Gotha P.60 (2001), which examines the competing flying-wing design proposed by Gotha as an alternative to the Horten Ho 229 after the Luftwaffe had already selected the Horten design for production. Myhra's work is grounded in archival research and firsthand interviews with engineers and others involved in wartime German aviation programs, and is aimed at readers and researchers with a specific interest in late-war German aircraft development rather than general military history. His books sit within the niche but well-documented field of Luftwaffe secret-weapons and prototype aircraft history.
