This first volume of Jet Planes of the Third Reich, The

Secret Projects covers mainly those German jet and

rocket aircraft projects that were designed prior to V-E Day,

but failed to reach prototype status. In addition, it examines

those few projects that actually reached an advanced stage

of construction prior to the end of the war in Europe and

also those special projects that were further developed in

the immediate postwar years.

Proceeding through this volume, you will be amazed at the

number, diversity, and originality of the various German

aircraft projects. It is an astonishing record - there was no

shortage of ideas or creativity - every idea and possibility,

no matter how unorthodox, was explored, expanded and

advanced. Some projects were nothing more than serious

flights of fancy, such as the multitude of Junkers "EFo"

studies in the early forties. Others were quite a different

matter. A few might even be considered relatively "modern"

if viewed from the perspective of current aircraft design.
