This is the technical companion volume to the Horten Ho IX Retrospective and documents how these flying machines were constructed, shown largely in highly detailed photographs. Horten brothers biographer David Myhra has organized over one thousand high quality black and white photographs into numerous categories showing this one of a kind flying machine. Some of these categories include construction of the all-wings wood main spar, wood wing ribs, plywood wing covering, and internal fuel tanks, control surfaces, drag rudders, nose wheel and main landing gear, etc. Each photograph is fully captioned making this volume the most complete collection available on this fantastic flying machine.
