Meng MESSERSCHMITT Me163B KOMET ROCKET-POWERED INTERCEPTOR

Description

Me163B Komet was the world’s only operational rocket-powered interceptor. Me163B had tremendous speed and climb rate thanks to its unique power source, so it’s hard to be intercepted by allied fighters during powered flight. But its high speed also resulted in difficulty to shoot accurately during a very short shooting time period, and hence Me163Bs gained very limited victories.
