Riassunto

Epitomising the advanced nature of Germany's aerospace industry in World War II, the Messerschmitt Me 163 had a huge psychological impact on Allied pilots who encountered it over war-torn Germany. It was unexpected, it was fast and it was a difficult target to destroy - all factors on which to base a good story.
