The Messerschmitt Me 163A was the first stage in the development of the famous German rocket-powered fighters. The unit was mainly used by the Luftwaffe for testing and pilot training, laying the groundwork for the serial production version, Me 163B. Me 163A prototypes were tested between 1941 and 1944, and the aircraft’s innovative design opened a new era in military aviation history.
