U.S.-South Korea relations have a special significance for scholars in Korea because of the special role the United States has played in the history of Korea since 1945. For Korea; particularly for South Korea; the United States was not just a country that exerted its influence from the outside because the United States has been an agent that has shaped the history of South Korea from the inside in just about every aspect. While the Republic of Korea was formally an independent country; it was not so in substance. In particular; the United States held on to operational control of the South Korean military forces. The fact that an independent nation released the power to control its own military forces to another nation holds a special meaning. Of course; the only party to be problematic of this fact was North Korea; most South Koreans never questioned it.

Marek Rys is part of the inner circle of the Luft'46 fraternity along with such luminaries as Manfred Griehl and Dan Johnson; his artwork is alongside Justo Mirando of Reich Dreams fame. I went to a lot of trouble to track down all 4 of Mr Rys's publications pver the years culminating in finally getting Vol 4 recently so I know what to expect as this volume is two volumes in one book.If you are new to the Luft'46 scene it is suffice to say that it focus's on all the rather strange; whacky and incredible ideas the German scientists and designers came up with in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945. If you have an interest in aviation history and what the Germans were up to between 1933-1945; this book will be of great interest.Luft'46 nuts will relish this book!It is interesting to see how the German ideas directly influenced so many aviation ideas directly after the war and beyond to today; their influence can not be denied.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A Useful BookBy DummyThis book fills the niche for those interested in "what ifs" with respect to German aviation during WW II. Nice to see (from the Allied point-of-view) some of the reasons for failure-both political and from an engineering perspective. However this book will probably appeal to a special audience
