For German jet- and rocket-powered aircraft of the Second World War (as well as for German combat aircraft of WW2 in general), I recommend "Warplanes of the Third Reich", by William Green. The edition I have was published by Doubleday. It is crammed with detail, and has lots of photographs and three- view drawings. I cannot recommend the book too highly. Enjoy! I remember seeing a Heinkel He-162 and a Messerschmitt Me-163 in a museum in London. No, it wasn't the Imperial War Museum. My memory is fading, but the museum had a name like "Museum of Science and Industry" or something similar. It's been over 20 years ago!! Joe Baugher AT&T Bell Laboratories 200 Park Plaza P. O.
