About product

Messerschmitt Me 163, the fifty-third volume of the Flugzeug Profile series

This item is a printed publication, not a model and not an accessory for a model. It belongs to the Flugzeug Profile aviation monograph series, in which each volume covers one type of aircraft. The text is in German, which matches the original title and the whole line. The series devotes several consecutive volumes to this type.

The theme of the publication

The Messerschmitt Me 163 was a German rocket-powered interceptor from the end of the Second World War. In design terms it was a tailless machine with a swept wing and a liquid-fuel rocket engine. The layout was subordinated to a rapid climb: the aircraft took off from a jettisoned dolly and landed on an extendable skid. The duration of powered flight was very short, so most of the flight took place without thrust, in essence as a glide. Operations were complicated by the aggressive propellants, which made severe demands on handling. The type therefore remained a technically remarkable episode rather than a usable weapon.
