This book describes in detail the development and operational history of the largest cargo glider and at the same time the largest aircraft of World War II ever. About 400 photos (including 10 rare colour photos) of all variants of this aircraft type (Me 321, Me 323 D, Me 323 E, ME 323 WT) are described in words and pictures on 256 pages. In addition, technical drawings, technical data and development data of the Me 110 and He 111 Z tow planes are included. All types are shown on many "2D" and "3D" illustrations and colour profiles. The entire construction of the aircraft is shown in "3D". Because of the enormous dimensions of this aircraft, four sheets in A1 poster format are included, with crack drawings and profiles. In addition to the many drawings, this book also contains illustrations of the association insignia as well as many profiles of individual aircraft. Numerous maps explain the missions. Organisation charts illustrate the structure of the task forces and important details of the air transport system.
