The first operational military jet in the world, towards the end of the Second World War the ME 262 was to be the German miracle weapon.
Mano Ziegler was involved from its inception and contributed to the design, testing, training and even served in it operationally.
Could the ME 262 have broken the Allied supremacy in the air? Why did it take so long to come into service and why were hundreds of German pilots sacrificed in developing it? Why did the ME 262 prove not to be the unparalleled success claimed by Goering and why were German cities left dangerously exposed against Allied bombing campaigns?
These are only some the important questions this new book answers.
Mano Ziegler was a pilot and air craft designer in Nazi Germany.
