Second volume of a two part work on the Luftwaffe's legendary rocket-powered interceptor with new documentary material and previously unpublished photographs as well as contributions from pilots of this unique and daunting aircraft. This book focuses on the operational story, including a detailed diary of point-defense combat operations conducted over Northern Europe by JG 400. There is also a study of late-war training and of the little-known Italian involvement plus a detailed overview of Me 163-based design projects.
