Me 163
facts from discovery channel
allies shot down : 7
34 % of all damaged /shot down me-163s was due to landing/xploding /
I looked at jet special WWII on discovery channel last night , and they took a look at me.262 and 163 , bith Me-163 A and B
There was made 1400 Me-163Bs ( A was prototype ) but only 400 was put in to the war . The fuel thing T and C or whatever was allso showed and how they refueld the planes . they got 2 teams with fuel , first one goes in and refuel and other team . They allso got special vehicles to bring back the planes after landing(on fields /grass ) .
They allso say that some did xplode in air but most right after fuel was put in . And that some times they actual killed the pilot by melting the bulletproof glass.
Whats interesting tho is that due to ME-163 Kommet inventor (lipsiig or whatever ) we got the sabre planes and the apollo
Allso due to the fact that there speed was so high they ( poor trained pilots did a 8 hour intensive traning) didnt have time to aim on enemy planes , lol 7 victorys with 400 planes and who know how many sorties .
Think i got the nummbers right
