HoodYou make an interesting point. There are very few books in Germany about the VJseries, VAK 191 and AVS/A400 or the Dornier 31 to231 transports. Those that exist are very dry and focus on the technical aspects. Best coverage is probably in Chris Gibson's Tempest to Typhoon book.I think the reason is fairly simple. The Luftwaffe got plenty of F4s in the best versions and then Tornado to replace its unloved F104s. The RAF were trying to replace iconic Hunters, Canberras and V Bombers.. Added to which, TSR2 and P1154 were to be the end of those iconic national programmes. The Germans had no aircraft industry losses and got a large share of Tornado and Alpha Jet helped by work on VJ101C and VAK191. Jemiba may know more.
