Summary
[edit]| Description | Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet at the Science Museum, South Kensington, 11/08. The world's first (and so far only) operational rocket fighter in the world. It's climb, speed and overall performance was senstational and it had, despite being tailess, very good handling characteristics. Unfortunately, the fuel was so volatile, it killed far more of its own pilots than it killed enemy aircrew! Explosions, especially on landing (it only had a skid which tended to create sparks), were commonplace but possibly the worst death suffered by one of its pilots was when one landed, fuel leaked over the pilot and dissolved him alive! | |||||||||||||
