The legend of speed and desperation

The Messerschmitt Me 163B was an attempt to develop a "wonder weapon" – Germany's response to the Allied bombing raids. As a rocket-powered interceptor, it reached speeds of over 1,000 km/h, surpassing the capabilities of most Allied aircraft.

Designed by Alexander Lippisch and tested by the legendary pilot Heini Dittmar, the Komet was a technological sensation – the first aircraft to break the 1,000 km/h mark. However, its high speed came with extreme risks.

The flight time was only about 12 minutes and the range 27 to 100 km, which significantly limited the aircraft's operational capabilities. After exhausting its fuel, the aircraft turned into a glider, forcing pilots to perform difficult and risky landings without power – often on a skid. Only after these aircraft were towed to an airfield and prepared for takeoff there could they participate in combat missions again.

Due to these unusual difficulties, only the best and bravest pilots could control, fight with, and above all safely land this machine. Among these few pilots was also a woman, whose figure is depicted in the set.

Despite its limited range and operational difficulties, the Me 163 will forever go down in history as the fastest fighter aircraft of World War II and as a symbol of the desperate technological race.
