Intended as a progressive development of the twin-engined Bf 110 Zerstörer, the Me 210 took to the air in September 1939. However, due to a lack of flight-testing before being declared service-ready, the Me 210 suffered from a bad reputation in respect to its flight characteristics and weak undercarriage. After enhancements were made, and the power of the plane was increased, the Me 210 became the Me 410 in late 1942. By this stage of the war much was expected of the two types, which were forced to fly in dangerous skies over North Africa and in the defence of the German homeland. Both aircraft were deployed as heavy fighters, fighter-bombers, reconnaissance platforms and interceptors, seeing service with a number of different units. In this book, Robert Forsyth tells the complex story of the Me 210 and 410, detailing their development and assessing their capabilities as combat aircraft.
