Messerschmitt Me-163 'Komet' was a German rocket-powered fighter plane, the only such type to ever see combat. Its development began in late 1930s and it eventually saw combat in 1944/45. How well did it do? Has it achieved any aerial victories? In the first video, we will reenact the early encounters of Me-163 with Allied airplanes over Germany.
