It is quite long but I found very interesting and a very interesting question and answer session at the end. They were test flying on a runway with high snow banks either side of the runway and by the time war ended there were just 5 of the test pilots left alive the rest crashed on takeoff or landing off the runway. Makes our lives today seem very cocooned and I am so grateful never to have had to flight a war.

While the Heinkle 162 was designed to be flown by Hitler Youth, only experienced fighter pilots could fly it, something Germany didn't have toward the end of the war. The book has amazing pictures of Me-262, Heinkel He 162, and the rocket powered Me163.
