On 14 October 1947, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier a milestone in aviation. But it is little known that German scientists had already laid the foundations for many of these developments in 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 flying wing, the wing wheel and the Sänger concept. This exciting documentation is supplemented by rare photos, design drawings and eyewitness accounts.
