Summary: first hand experience
Comment: When I read this book, some 30 years ago -it was translated into several languages, and I must have read either a Dutch or an English translation- two things struck me: the illustrations, made by the writer himself and the story, a real first hand experience. It's told in such a way that you don't want to put it down, you just have to known whether the pilots mentioned will survive this plane. You get to know how the testing was done and just what the hazzards of flying the Me 163 "Komet" were. Quite often it develloped into a real comet, exploding when landed with a bit of both fuels left. The writer manages to bring back those moments in vivid detail.

Summary: amazing ("dément " in french) rocket plane story
Comment: I read this book in german because I find it at Münich (Deutsch Museum). It exists in French but I miss it years ago (France Empire edition). Mano Ziegler is one of the test pilot of this crazy plane. The book is full of little stories, accidents, missions and illustrated ( sorry for my english) of Ziegler drawings. Hard to read in german, that's why I wwould like to read it in english. It's a good book for people interested in this aircraft, the Me163 Komet.
