X PLANES OF THE THIRD REICH SERIES An Illustrated Series on
Germany's Experimental Aircraft of World War II Into the arms of
the angels went pilots of the Me 163s, however the Alexander
Lippisch-designed machine wasn't quite finished even though it went
into serial production. The RLM called upon Heinrich Hertel of
Junkers Flugzeugbau to give the aging 163 a complete make over and
a make up for all the initial items it lacked - that is a cruising
HWK 509 bi-fuel liquid rocket engine with a dual combustion
chamber, tricycle landing gear, C and T-Stoff fuel tanks in the
wings to provide longer flight duration, and so on. Although
Hertel's machine was not flight tested under power prior to war's
end the new and improved version now known as the Me 263 was test
flown post war in the USSR. David Myhra has assembled previously
unpublished photos, state-of-the art digital images, and photos of
a 263 scale model to make this book on the 263 a one of a kind
photographic reference.
