Throughout much of the Second World War the Nazis' military
technology was far more advanced than anything the Allies could
produce. Part of the German arsenal were rocket and jet aircraft,
the first of which, the Heinkel He 178, first took to the air on 27
August 1939. It was followed by other icons of aviation such as the
Messerschmitt Me 262 that had an engine with a thrust of 1,350lbs,
and the famous V-1 (Doodlebug), over 9,500 of which were fired at
Britain resulting in 22,892 casualties. In Rocket and Jet Aircraft
of the Third Reich, aviation historian Terry C. Treadwell tells the
story of the planes and weaponry that represented the cutting edge
of aviation technology. He details their design, development and
application and the struggles of those who built them. The German
scientists and engineers were always under pressure from the German
High Command during the conflict, and as it drew to a close they
were caught between the Allies who wished to control them, and the
SS who would stop at nothing to prevent them falling into Allied
hands. Complimented by over 200 illustrations, Rocket and Jet
Aircraft of the Third Reich provides unrivalled insight into the
aircraft that made Germany an almost indomitable enemy.
