X PLANES OF THE THIRD REICH SERIES An Illustrated Series on
Germany's Experimental Aircraft of World War II Powered by a single
HeS 001A turbojet engine, Woldemer Voigt, who had artfully crafted
the Me 262, ran out of time before he could make the 1101's design
jell as he struggled to produce the world's first variable wing
sweep, ultra light weight interceptor, and armed with Germany's
state-of-the art wing-mounted air-to-air guided missiles. Post-war,
Bell Aircraft sought to carry on Voigt's planning and resolved to
make the complicated mathematics of light weight, variable wing
sweep and wing-mounted weapons come together in a single aircraft
design. The result was the Bell X-5, and it too, was disappointing.
This photographic history of the Me P.1101 by David Myhra features
mostly previously unpublished photos, three-view line drawings, and
stunningly realistic photos of a 1101 scale model.
