Condizione: Gut. Unpaginiert. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - On April 7, 1945, about sixty Me 262's attacked an invading Allied flying fortress and fighter escort air armada over Westphalia. The attack resulted in twenty five B-1 7's shot down. At about the same time, a flight of only six Me 262's equipped with twenty four R4M rockets hung on racks under the wings took off on an operational test from an airfield near Munich. This defense test mission was being closely monitored by the staff of the Supreme Command. In spite of Allied fighter escort, the Me 262's returned home without any damage and had shot down fourteen B-1 7's. From this test and its success, Adolf Hitler personally ordered that the air-to-air rocket would henceforth become the standard armament of the jet fighter interceptors and immediate mass production was to start. This was just one of many of his reversals which dogged the Luftwaffe war effort and hindered the operational introduction of the jet fighter in W.W. II. At this point it was becoming clear that both jet fighter and air-to-air rockets would be the instruments of aerial warfare of the future. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Mit zahlr. Abb.
