Messerschmitt Me 163B-1a Komet
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1945, London, Hangar Five, 85/A/66
The Me163 Komet rocket was deployed by the Luftwaffe in a desperate attempt to combat the Allied strategic bombing offensive during the closing stages of the Second World War. It was the only rocket propelled interceptor ever to be used operationally. It was not as successful as expected, only shooting down nine Allied aircraft for a loss of 14 Komets.
