	Messerschmitt Me 264 Luft '46 Entry
		Several schemes were proposed by the Messerschmitt design bureau to extend the range of the Me 264, including towing one Me 264 by another to altitude, in flight refueling by a second Me 264, adding two more engines bringing the total to six and using take-off rocket pods for overload takeoff conditions.
		A general skepticism was creeping in concerning the numerous delays in getting the first Me 264 in the air, and again the consensus from the RLM and General Staff of the Luftwaffe was leaning towards the Junkers Ju 290 and the six engined Ju 390.
		On June 29, 1944, the Trial Establishments Headquarters definitely stated that the Me 264, as well as the Ju 390, would be unsuitable for operational deployment since its fitting with the entire military equipment and payload would excessively increase the takeoff weight and the wing load.

		The Messerschmitt Me 163 "Komet" used a rocket motor that used hydrogen peroxide as a fuel.
		The rocket plane was the Me 163 "Komet." It used a motor built by the inventor Hellmuth Walter, which burned hydrogen peroxide as a fuel.
		Messerschmitt's most serious high-tech effort was the Me 262, the world's first jet fighter to fly in combat.

		Messerschmitt AG, later Messerschmitt-BÃ¶lkow-Blohm (MBB) was a famous German aircraft manufacturer, known primarily for its World War II fighter aircraft, notably the Bf 109 and Me 262.
		From this point on Messerschmitt became a favorite of the Nazi party, as much for his designs as his political abilities and the factory location in southern Germany away from the "clumping" of aviation firms on the northern coast.
		Messerschmitt had its share of poor designs as well; the Me 210, designed as a follow-on to the 110, was a disaster that almost led to the forced dissolution of the company.

	Messerschmitt Me 264 Book Review by Brett Green (Classic Publications)
		The ambitious concept behind the Messerschmitt Me 264 was to build an aircraft capable of reaching any point of the globe without refuelling.
		The reality was that Germany could not afford to build a fleet of these long-range bombers and, in any case, that the Luftwaffe's experience with their heaviest operational bomber, the Heinkel He 177, was fraught with mechanical and technical failures, and limited operational advantages over medium bombers or large maritime aircraft adapted to specialist roles.
		Despite the frustrations of the single prototype, the story of the Me 264 remains a fascinating one.

	Messerschmitt (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Messerschmitt also enrolled in a technical college in Munich, where he received his degree in engineering in 1923.
		Messerschmitt crafted his design by working with the most powerful engine then available and building the lightest and most compact airframe possible around it.
		The rocket plane was the Me 163 "Komet." It used a motor built by the inventor Hellmuth Walter, which burned hydrogen peroxide as a fuel.

		The Me 264 was designed from the begining as an 'Amerika' bomber.
		It's goal was to be able to carry a small load to the United States and return or a heavier load and ditch at sea and the crew picked up by U-boat.
		The first prototype flew in December 1942, but soon allied pressure forced Messerschmitt to slow development and the prototypes were eventually destroyed by Allied bombing.

		The Me 264 could have had some impact on the war in the Atlantic, assisting the submarines find and destroy conveys of supply ships to the UK, etc. This was how the project was sold that even Milch could see the value.
		An Me 264 airframe - possibly the V2 - was to have been placedat the disposal of the firm, but itwas apparently destroyed in an air raid before experiments got under way.
		For me, this all has the shine of a miracle, I mean, even the capacities of the USA must have come to an end at a certain point of time.

		The Me 264 Amerika (America) was a long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft developed by Messerschmitt during World War II for the Luftwaffe.
		One prototype was built, but production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production while another design, the Junkers Ju 390, had been selected in its place as a maritime reconnaissance plane.
		The first prototype, the Me 264 V1, was flown on December 23, 1942.

	The Boulton Paul Defiant
		The first squadron to fly the Defiant was the newly formed 264 Squadron operating from RAF Sutton Bridge and later early in 1940 from Martlesham Heath.
		264 was sent to France in these early stages and combined with 141 Squadron which also became a Defiant squadron.
		264 Squadron was to suffer a similar fate in August 1940.

	Willy Messerschmitt - a short biography.
		Even when Messerschmitt took to the air himself for the first time (in 1925) the M17 in which he was flying crashed, putting him in hospital for some time.
		Messerschmitt gained worldwide recognition for the 109 design and it went on to be produced in greater numbers than any other single seat aircraft in aviation history.
		The Messerschmitt concern shared in the post-war success of Germany and is now part of the massive MBB concern, which manufactures parts for the European Airbus and the Tornado strike aircraft.

		Willy Messerschmitt designed the BF109 during the early 1930's The BF109 was one of the first all metal monocoque construction fighters with a closed canopy and retractable undercarriage.
		By utilizing its turret guns RAF 264 Squadron was preparing to decimate the Heinkels with an attack on their vulnerable underbellies.
		In 1987 he and his wife Heidi did me the honor of flying from Germany to Washington DC to attend the opening of my exhibition of aviation paintings at the Smithsonian.

		This gives an impression if what Göring and Hitler might have hoped for in Mars 1941 when they gave Willy Messerschmitt company funds for designing and producing a four engine bomber that should be able to fly from Europe to USA with a load of bombs and then return.
		They probable know that the airplanes should not be able to do that much destruction to USA’s mainland but hopefully should reorganize their production capacity for defense instead of producing offensive war material that should have a direct impact at Germany.
		In February 1945 Hitler still talked about sketches from Messerschmitt of four engine plane that should be able to reach USA and come back.

		The Me 109 E was the standard fighter of the Luft- waffe at the beginning of the II WW.
		At that time it was the most advanced fighter, but soon there was competition like the Spitfire, so the 109 was further developed and other types like the FW 190 arose.
		It was the first aircraft that was build in an industrial scale, that was driven by a rocket engine and the first one to reach the 1000km/h mark (540kts).

		The Messerschmitt Me 264 Amerika (America) was a long-range strategic bomber and reconnaissance aircraft developed during World War II for the Luftwaffe under the Reichsluftfahrtministerium's (the German Air Ministry) "Amerika Bomber" programme, and for the Kriegsmarine as a maritime reconnaissance and attack aircraft.
		The plane was supposed to be capable of flying from Germany to New York City and back, although it is highly doubtful that this would have been achieved with a meaningful payload, if at all.
		One prototype was made but production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production and because another design, the Junkers Ju 390, had been selected in its place as a maritime reconnaissance plane.

	Me-264: Amerika Bomber, reviewed by Scott Van Aken
		While it would have been quite useful as a Condor replacement, there were a plethora of problems.
		First of all, Willy Messerschmitt was one of those people who pissed people off and he so infuriated Generalfieldmarshal Milch, the man who made all the decisions about who built what, that he lost control of his own company.
		Still he was left in charge of company research and touted the 264 at every opportunity.

		Unlike the earlier cold principle motor which directed all of the oxygen and water vapor produced by the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide out of the engine's nozzle, the new motor employed a hot system in which the oxygen was ignited for additional thrust and better fuel efficiency.
		Flight testing of the first series of Me 163 B-0 preproduction aircraft proceeded through 1942 and demonstrated the dangers of the Me 163's unproven propulsion system.
		On landing, the airframe was damaged in the area of the flap mounts when the aircraft rolled over the end of the runway due to the failure of the brake system.
