X PLANES OF THE THIRD REICH SERIESAn Illustrated Series on Germany's Experimental Aircraftof World War IIThe Focke-Wulf Ta 183 �geheim projekt� came from the mind of aircraft design genius Hans Multhopp. With its single HeS 011A turbojet engine and signature �Multhopp T-tail� it had been selected for immediate series production by the RLM in March, 1945, and Focke-Wulf officials believed that the 183�s maiden flight might occur as quickly as June, 1945. Post-war the Ta 183 became the �mother� of the Soviet MiG-15 and the Argentine IAe 33 �Pulqui II� which Kurt Tank built for President_ Juan Per�n. This photographic history of the 183 by David Myhra features 129 mostly previously unpublished photos, three-view line drawings, and stunning state-of-the-art digital color images.
