The First Jet Pilot On 27 August 1939, Flugkapitan Erich Warsitz became the first man to fly a jet aircraft, the Heinkel He 178 and in June of the same year he flew the first liquid-fuel rocket aircraft, the Heinkel He 176. His legendary flying skills enabled him to assist the pioneering German aircraft and engine design teams that included Wernher von Braun and Ernst Heinkel. He repeatedly risked his life extending the frontiers of aviation in speed, altitude and techlogy and survived many life-threatening incidents.This book is written by Erich's son who has used his father's copious tes and log books that explain vividly the then halcyon days of German aviation history. Warsitz was feted by the Reich's senior military figures such as Milch, Udet and Lucht and even Hitler keenly followed his experimental flying. Little is kwn of this pioneer period because of the strict secrecy which shrouded the whole project - it is a fascinating story that tells of the birth of the jet age and flight as we kw it today. The book includes many unseen photographs and diagrams. |

Turbojet: History and Development 1930-1960 Volume 1 This important project brings together the early histories of the development of the turbojet, turboprop and turboshaft engines for the first time. The work of twelve nations [Great Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, France, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Hungary] is described from the earliest days up to the end of the 1950s. This was the Golden Age of aeronautical development and in that time hundreds of engines were developed using the new and exciting gas turbine technology. These engines powered some of the most important and best loved aircraft of the century. Authors Biography: Tony Kay has written widely on aeronautics and technical subjects. His engineering and technical background ranges from instruments to heavy engineering and he has, for decades, run his own optical instrument business. Tony is also a keen pilot. He is the author of German Jet Engine and Gas Turbine Development 1930-45 and Junkers Airfcraft and Engines, 1913-1945. Resident - W Sussex |

V-1 Flying Bomb 1/48 Scale Model Kit The Fieseler Fi 103, better known as the V-1 "buzz bomb" or "doodlebug," was an early pulse-jet-powered predecessor of the cruise missile that Germany employed against England and Belgium from mid-1944 into the spring of 1945. This 1/48 scale, plastic kit of that early terror weapon (most of its victims were civilians) is a wonderful representation of the original. You get engraved panel and hatch lines, a realistic pulse-jet pod with inlet details, the familiar "vane anemometer" on the nose (used to provide distance information during flight), and more. You even get the transport dolly for display! 6" long; 18 parts, assembly required. |

V-1 Flying Bomb 1942-52 The first deployment of the V-1 was in June 1944 when, following two years of tests, Hitler gave the order to attack England. Known to the Allies as the "Buzz Bomb" or "Doodlebug," the V-1 was the world's first cruise missile. This book explores the V-1 in detail, from its initial concept, first use in 1944, the various Allied counter-measures, and the later use of the V-1 during the Battle of the Bulge. The major foreign derivatives, including the US copy "JB-2 Loon" and numerous post-war Soviet variants, are also covered. |

Hi-Tech Hitler, DVD Video Find out how some of the most spectacular technological advances of the 20th Century emerged from one of the darkest chapters in world history as MODERN MARVELS reveals the many advances in science and technology that emerged from Germany during Hitler's horrible reign of power. In addition to being the first to prove that smoking caused cancer, Nazi scientists also perfected the hi-fi recording equipment that allowed the F�hrer to contaminate the entire country of Germany with his infectious, diabolical philosophy, and helped to perfect the very first jet-powered warplanes. And while the Third Reich would ultimately crumble, much of the technology they conceived is still being used in the 21st Century. HI-TECH HITLER explores the manifold engineering and scientific accomplishments of the Nazis many of which helped to radically transform the way we live today. When Hitler came to power Germany was one of the world's most technologically advanced nations. In the midst of carrying out the atrocities of the Holocaust the soldiers who made up Hitler's murderous regime were also charged with furthering Germany's foothold in the fields of science and technology. Under the leadership of the F++hrer Nazi scientists were the first to establish a direct link between smoking and cancer. In an attempt to boost Nazi propaganda broadcasts Hitler exploited the discovery of hi-fi recording equipment. Finally it was during Hitler's time that the very first jet-powered fighter plane flew fully equipped with the first pilot ejection seat. Now in this intriguing program find out how and why so many positive advancements emerged from so much horror and track the ongoing influence of both the feats and failures of the Third Reich. From jet power to the electron microscope HISTORY presents a distinctive look at the role of science and technology in Hitler's Germany. |

Focke-Wulf Ta 183 The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 "geheim projekt" came from the mind of aircraft design genius Hans Multhopp. With its single Hes 011A turbojet engine and signature "Multhopp T-tail" it had been selected for immediate series production by the RLM in March, 1945.... The RLM called upon Heinrich Hertel of Junkers Flugzeugbau to give the aging 163 a complete make over and make up for all the initial items it lacked - that is a cruising HWK 509 bi-fuel liquid rocket engine with a duel combustion chamber, tricycle landing gear, C and T-Stoff fuel tanks in the wings to provide longer flight duration, and so on. |

Rocket and Jet Aircraft of the Third Reich The design, development, and application of the Nazi aircraft--a story of technological genius harnessed by the pressures of war Throughout much of World War II the Nazis' military technology was far more advanced than anything the Allies could produce. Here, an aviation historian tells the story of the planes and weaponry that represented the cutting edge of aviation technology, detailing their design, development, and application, and the struggles of those who built them. 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. This book provides unrivalled insight into the aircraft that made Germany an almost indomitable enemy.

Luftwaffe X-Planes A Fascinating collection of photos of experimental and prototype planes of the Luftwaffe, this title reveals plans for jet planes and high altitude aircraft, and radar-equipped fighters configured to deliver chemical weapons. It is a revelatory insight into the aviation science of the Third Reich. From jet planes and high altitude aircraft to radar-equipped fighters configured to deliver chemical weapons, numerous Luftwaffe planes were designed and reached prototype stage but never made it into mass production or battle. Luftwaffe X Planes is a definitive, revelatory guide to the remarkable range of secret planes that the Third Reich failed to complete.Despite the Allied authorities ban on research, countless aircraft were designed and tested by the Luftwaffe and German manufacturers before World War II. The research went ahead at secret evaluation sites in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the USSR. After the outbreak of the war this work continued. Many projects remained on the drawing board or at prototype stage because either they were deemed unsuitable or, as is the case with most of those in this selection, the developers simply ran out of time and the projects never went into production.Renowned aviation expert Manfred Griehl has painstakingly assembled a valuable selection of images which shows the remarkable range of projects dreamed up by the German designers. Had these innovative projects ever been realized the course of the World War II could have been dramatically different." |

The book also looks at the projected variants, including the two-seat training glider and combat utilization of the type. Post war testing by the victorious allies is also covered, as is a round up of the examples to be found, today, in the aviation museums of Europe. Also within the pages are 1/72 and 1/48 scale drawings, numerous black and white photos and detail drawings and diagrams. Colour artwork consists of 5 pages, plus the outside back cover, covering prototype, operational and test examples of the He 162 and 10 pages of close up colour photography of preserved aircraft and components may also be found. The book concludes with a technical description of the type. In the desperate days of February 1945, the Luftwaffe pressed the He 162 "Spatz" (Sparrow) into service with one of the most experienced Reich Home Defense gruppen on the Western Front - JG 1 "Oesau" based at Parchim. After two convolted months of reorganization and treacherous training flights with the unproven "Volksjager", Gruppen Kommodore Obst. Herbert Ihlefeld declared the I/JG.1 operational with twenty-five 162s at Leck airdrome on the Danish border. The first official missions were flown on 21 April against Allied ground forces... |

Secret Messerschmitt Projects The P1101 was Messerschmitt's second jet aircraft after the Me 262. Designed as a fighter, the test version of this type was to serve as an experimental aircraft to test the swept wing concept. After World War II, the P1101 was brought to the U.S.A. and served there, among other things, as a testbed for the similar developments. Photos and data of this astonishing, yet understandably unkwn aircraft with its futuristic techlogy are rare. This new book is a comprehensive documention. where t only the development history with all the important data concerning the P1101 is gathered, but also photos, detailed facts and figures about this aircraft. Of particular te are the numerous tabular comparisons with similar German and foreign aircraft from the war and post-war era. While there are innumerable German technical publications about well-kwn, mass-produced Messerschmitt aircraft, the authors have been successful with this book in supplementing these works with the portrayal of the last almost completed Messerschmitt aircraft. Willy Radinger and Walter Schick are also the authors of Messerschmitt Me 262: Development/Testing/Production (available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.). ISBN-10 0887409261 |

Junkers Ju 287 The World's First Swept-Wing Jet Aircraft. Lommel. In the summer of 1944, the prototype of the Ju 287 V1, a four-engine jet bomber with forward swept wings, took to the skies over Leipzig-Brandis and made history with its unusual design. This book reveals the striking craft through previously unpublished reports, photographs and drawings, examining not only its specifics but also its contributions to future jet aircraft designs in both the East and the West. The extraordinary Junkers Ju 287, the first truly swept-winged, jet-powered aircraft, took to the sky in August 1944, at a time when Germany was suffering sustained round-the-clock bombing by the Allied air forces. Despite such adverse development conditions, this large and futuristic aircraft represented a remarkable accomplishment in aeronautical design. It featured a revolutionary swept forward wing and was built largely from scavenged components from other aircraft. The project was considered ‘top secret’ and evaded Allied intelligence for many months. |

The semi-expendable, not suicide, vertically-launched, piloted rocket plane was designed to meet an Allied bomber formation and launch rockets at it, only to then come around for a ramming attack. Although a modified version of the original design was built and put in service, none of these rocket aircraft saw action. The small interceptor was designed by a team headed by Erich Bachem. The Ba 349 was built using bonded and screwed wooden parts, a simple metal structure and an armored cockpit. The heart and soul of the aircraft was the internal Walter 109-509A-2 liquid fuel rocket that was also used in Me 163 Comet. In October 1944 pilotless tests from near-vertical ramp and piloted gliding flights were started. On 28 February 1945 the first manned flight was attempted, resulting in the death of test pilot Oberleutnant Lothar Siebert when the cockpit canopy flew off, and the Ba 349 crashed. .
