Secret Projects of the DFS - From High-Altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft to Space Gliders 1935-1945
On October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier—a milestone in aviation. However, it is little known that German scientists laid the foundations for many of these developments during the final years of the war. The German Research Institute for Gliding (DFS) played a leading role in this. In this fact-based work, Horst Lommel presents groundbreaking DFS projects such as the DFS-228 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the DFS-346 supersonic aircraft, the Focke-Wulf drive-wing, the wing wheel, and the Sänger concept. This fascinating documentation is complemented by rare photographs, construction drawings, and eyewitness accounts.
However, it is little known that German scientists had already laid the foundations for many of these developments in the final years of the war.
