About

The development and history of the of the world's first operational rocket-powered interceptor, the Messerschmitt Me163.

The Me163 was developed and tested by the Germans in absolute secrecy. As the Second World War drew to a close the Luftwaffe high command pinned its last desperate hopes on this deadly new flying machine.

Mano Ziegler, one of the few men to survive the Me 163's initiation in battle, tells the story of the brave pilots pushed to the limits of physical endurance --- men who, bound by duty and driven by courage, experienced high-altitude velocities and air pressures no human body had ever before endured.
