I'd even settle for a history book of Messerschmitt that had some illustrations. - Strollers Cammann (2010) Jagdgeschwader 400, Osprey publishing. For example on the 16th March, an Me 163 managed to damage another Mosquito on a reconnaissance mission. As a consequence, deep penetration strategic bombing was curtailed for five months. Still, handling the Me 163 fuel without this kind of protection was highly dangerous for the ground maintenance crews. Mission No. * Firearms, to include conceal carry and other dangerous weapons, are specifically prohibited in Federal facilities in accordance with 18 USC 930 (c) The following May, the firm acquired Hamburger Flugzeugbau (HFB). Am gleichen Tag wurde auch das sdlich benachbarte Verwaltungsgebude (Prfeningerstr. [1], Diese Entwicklung fr das Werk Augsburg erforderte die Grndung eines Zweigwerkes fr die Produktion der Flugzeuge vom Typ Messerschmitt Bf 108 eines auch militrisch nutzbaren Kurierflugzeugs, das auch Taifun genannt wurde. Weekend edition of Bf 109G-6 produced by Messerschmitt Regensburg factory in 1/48 scale. by dmeephd 30 Apr 2009, 17:39, Post In Sddeutschland waren die Messerschmitt-Flugzeugwerke in Regensburg und Obertraubling von Angriffen nicht betroffen und konnten bis 1943 die Jahresproduktion von Me-109-Jagdflugzeugen unter Einsatz von KZ-Hftlingen auf weit ber 2.000 Stck pro Jahr steigern. Permitted Items: In all the 1st Wing was delayed more than three hours behind the 4th Wing. The excellent results at Regensburg were small consolation for the loss of 60 B-17s. In order to enter his flight position, the pilot used a small ladder placed on the left side of the aircraft. However, 15 miles from Schweinfurt, the opposing fighters, after shooting down 22 bombers, disengaged and landed to refuel and re-arm in order to attack the force on its way out. Given that they could do little against it when the Me 163 was in its dive attack. The Me 163B V6 was tested with two engine configurations It was to serve as the basis for the planned Me 163C version which was never completed, aside from a few airframes. Despite attempts to improve visibility compared to the previous version, the Me 163B suffered from poor visibility, especially to the rear and in front of the aircrafts nose. The weapons were difficult to use with the standard attack tactics of the aircraft. Interestingly, the town of Schweinfurt contained 80 percent of Germany's ball bearing industry. According to initial plans, this unit was to be formed at least by the end of 1943 or in early 1944 depending on the sources. While the one carrying the aircraft parts was sunk, the others that were carrying technical manuals managed to reach the German ally. In November and later in December, two aircraft were lost in accidents with the loss of life of both pilots. In November, the Me 163As were used for crew training. Die grten Auswirkungen fr die Stadt ergaben sich, weil fr die Produktion im neuen Flugzeugwerk tausende meist hoch qualifizierte neue Arbeitskrfte bentigt wurden, die vor Ort nicht verfgbar waren und deshalb mit ihren Familien von auerhalb zuziehen mussten. Although you shouldn't get your hopes up too high. 29,95 US$. Gab: @plane-encyclopedia Cheers David. Once at sufficient altitude the dolly was jettisoned from the bottom of the aircraft. A few days later, another accident occurred when the towing aircraft lost power to one of its engines. The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production at Messerschmitt's Regensburg factory was the KR175. Z-Stoff would later be replaced with C-Stoff, which was a mix of methyl alcohol, hydrazine hydrate, and water. Once these were successfully tested, they would be then allocated to the 1./J.G. [acesflyinghigh.wordpress.com]The Me 163 utilized an auxiliary landing gear unit. Probably its greatest contribution was that it provided a good experimental platform for flight tests at transonic speeds. Five miles from Schweinfurt, German anti-aircraft guns began firing an effective flak barrage into the path of the bomber force. In order for the pilot to enter the cockpit, a ladder was placed on the left side of the aircraft. For this reason, the pilot had to endure altitude chamber training and had a specially designed diet. The 101 CG was made up of B-17s from the 381st (7), 351st (6), and 91st (6) BG. One of the first designs, the Messerschmitt M20, was a near-catastrophe for the designer and the company. In order to help circulate the fuel, two centrifugal pumps were placed inside the Me 163. Not wanting to waste the parts of the destroyed Me 163, these were collected and then sent to the training school at Fassberg. These include the 5.5 cm R4M air-to-air rocket, and the more revolutionary SG 500 Jagdfaust. On the 21st of April Olejnik had an accident during a forced landing where he spent some time in hospital thereafter. P.R.U. With the two MK 108 cannons, the Me 163 was formidably armed given its small size. Due to a steadily increasing threat from Allied bombers, the Messerschmitt aircraft company moved parts of the factory from Regensburg in October 1943. Da es den Alliierten nicht verborgen blieb, dass die Produktion von Flugzeugen weiterhin erfolgte, wurden im Juli 1944 die Flugzeugwerke in Augsburg, Regensburg und Obertraubling erneut bombardiert und dabei fast vllig zerstrt. I'd even settle for a history book of Messerschmitt that had some illustrations. Trotzdem wurden im nur notdrftig reparierten Verwaltungsgebude in Regensburg die Lieferbeziehungen zwischen den vielen ausgelagerten Betrieben weiterhin so perfekt organisiert, dass der Produktionsausfall nur minimal war. By the end of July, the 1./JG 400 had only four operational aircraft out of 16 available. One alternative the company came up with was the three-wheeled motorcycle/bubble car or Kabinenroller (cabinscooter) KR175/ KR200, designed by an aircraft engineer, Fritz Fend. Pointblank operations in April and July 1943 had concentrated solely on the production of the Fw 190 at factories in Bremen, Kassel, and Oschersleben, and although serious losses to the bomber forces had occurred, the attacks had been successful enough to warrant attacking those manufacturing Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Insgesamt wurden mit 7Flugzeugen pro Tag ca. In order to help the ground crew with repairs, the fuselage was specially designed to contain a large number of removable panels. The two groups of P-47s (88 aircraft) arrived five and eight minutes late, and despite some individual combats, they too were forced to break off virtually as soon as they arrived. While the Mk 108 had sufficient firepower to outright destroy or heavily damage enemy aircraft, it was plagued with low velocity. Sixty aircraft were lost over German-controlled territory, in Switzerland, or ditched at sea, with five crews rescued. Slave labour was provided by inmates of the brutal KZ Gusen I and Gusen II camps, and by inmates from nearby Mauthausen concentration camp, all located near the St. Gorgen quarries. Of the two groups of P-47s (87 aircraft) tasked to escort the force to the German border, only one arrived at the rendezvous point on time, covering only the lead wing, and the second arrived fifteen minutes late. Prohibited Items: The volatile nature of its fuel, occasionally lead to accidents and explosions, losing aircraft in the process, but more importantly the vital pilots. Weitere industrielle Arbeitspltze gab es in der Stadt nicht und Bemhungen zur Ansiedlung von Betrieben waren erfolglos geblieben. Diese Seite wurde zuletzt am 2. On August 17, 1943, the USAAF suffered staggering losses in the two-pronged attack against the Messerschmitt fighter factory at Regensburg and the ball-bearing plants at Schweinfurt, Germany. After being postponed several times by unfavorable weather, the operation, known within the Eighth Air Force as "Mission No. Several more were built but the end of the war led to the end of the project. In the final analysis, the Me 163 theoretically possessed great potential for a rocket-powered aircraft. From this point forward all aircraft built would be transported to Bad Zwischenahn near Oldenburg. JavaScript is disabled. The campus is situated in a single location together with the Regensburg University of Applied Sciences.

BFW then started turning out over 200 aircraft a month, with their workforce growing to 3,000 and becoming one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Bavaria. Combat operations began again in March of 1945. For take-off, the Me 163 sat on a simple two-wheel dolly unit. Bf 109G-6 MTT Regensburg 1/48. While the Mosquito pilot managed to fly back to France, he was forced to crash land. [Wiki]The rear wheel was completely steerable and was added to help during take-off and landing. During refueling, the ground and the aircraft had to be sprayed with large amounts of water. Messerschmitt AG (German pronunciation: [msmt]) was a German share-ownership limited, aircraft manufacturing corporation named after its chief designer Willy Messerschmitt from mid-July 1938 onwards, and known primarily for its World War II fighter aircraft, in particular the Bf 109 and Me 262. [11] The 1st Bombardment Wing, following it, would turn northeast and bomb the ball-bearing factories of Schweinfurt (where almost the entire production of bearings was centralized) and by doing so catch German fighter aircraft on the ground re-arming and refueling. Therefore the Germans worked on developing safer types of dollies. Find Nazi Messerschmitt stock photos and editorial news pictures from Getty Images. - Water bottles (clear, sealed bottle, up to 20 oz.) It was also the first American shuttle mission, in which all or part of a mission landed at a different field and later bombed another target before returning to its base. After the Me 163 returned from a sortie, the Scheuchschlepper rear wheel would be replaced with a tracked platform which supported a cradle that fully supported the entire aircraft at its wing roots, to move the Me 163 for refueling and to be refitted on a takeoff dolly for the next flight. That particular aircraft would be destroyed in an Allied bombing raid on Klemm. As this airfield lacked any proper workshops, the dismantled aircraft could not be assembled again and, for this reason, no test flights were ever carried out from Brieg. Eighth Air Force bomber operations were calculated with one to two hours of climb and assembly into formations factored into mission lengths. This, in theory, would increase the overall production and avoid potentially being targeted by Allied bombers. Ende 1944 war der Einsatz von 4000 KZ-Hftlingen und 400 Zivilarbeitern fr diese Fertigung geplant. Das Plansoll der Produktion wurde dadurch wieder erreicht, dass man gezwungen war, die Produktion von einzelnen Bauteilen auszulagern. It was known in Japan as J8M1 Shuri (Rigorous Sword). The fuel could never be produced in sufficient quantities. On landing, the Me 163 were to use a simple retractable landing skid, placed beneath the fuselage. - Backpacks Das Werk im Westen von Regensburg entwickelte sich im Laufe des Zweiten Weltkrieges zu einem der leistungsfhigsten und produktivsten Flugzeugwerke. In addition, to the rear of the aircraft, a small steerable tail wheel was added to help during take-off and landing. Factory, location Up to 1939 1939 1940 1941 . For this reason, the work on testing and experimenting with the Me 163 was stopped in favor of increasing the overall production of the Me 163 B-1. [10], Folgen fr die Infrastruktur in Regensburg, Zahlenangaben wahrscheinlich einschlielich Zwangsarbeitern und Kriegsgefangenen, https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Messerschmitt_GmbH&oldid=226704177, Wehr- und Rstungswirtschaft im Nationalsozialismus, Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike, Baubeschrnkungen fr den gesamten Stadtwesten wegen Verlust von Baugelnde und Erweiterung des Flugplatzes, Verknappung von Verbrauchsgtern und Preiserhhungen, Mangel an Arbeitskrften, besonders bei Facharbeitern, aber auch bei Behrden, Die hohe Gefhrdung als Angriffsziel fr Bombenangriffe machte die Stationierung von Flaktruppen ntig. Even so, two damaged B-17s turned away from the Regensburg task force and landed in neutral Switzerland, where their crews were interned and the bombers confiscated. Am Ende des Jahres 1944 wurden auf Initiative des Jgerstabes unter strengster Geheimhaltung wesentliche Teile der Betriebseinrichtungen und des Personals des Fertigungskreises Regensburg in den U-Verlagerungsbetrieb B8 Bergkristall bei St. Georgen an der Gusen verlagert. Youtube Once at a sufficient height, the two-wheel dolly would jettison from the aircraft (in the left corner). Before each flight, the fuel tanks had to be thoroughly washed with water. The initial armament consisted of two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, which were positioned in the wing roots. More than 700 bombs fell within the target area causing severe damage. Die Zahl der Mitarbeiter wuchs von 6.429 Ende 1941 auf ca. Mit Zusatztanks ausgerstet konnten sie von England aus Sddeutschland und dann zur Landung Nordafrika erreichen. There were also 55 to 95 additional aircraft badly damaged. The tail wheel may have been the long or short variety. These units were renamed in November or December 1944 to 5. and 6./JG 400. During these initial combat engagements with the Allied bombers, German pilots noticed that the Me 163s armament had a huge flaw. Um den Bedarf zu decken wurden Tausende Zwangsarbeiter und Kriegsgefangene eingesetzt, die in Barackensiedlungen entlang der Prfeninger Strae untergebracht wurden und auch in Turnhallen, in Slen und im Colosseum, dem im spteren KZ-Auenlager Regensburg. Given its phenomenal speed during dive attack at the enemy formation, the Me 163 was essentially immune to enemy fighter cover and was unable to do much against it. Details of the company were recorded in the Commercial Register with an equity capital of RM1,000,000 on 7 March 1916. by dmeephd 01 May 2009, 13:46, Post Haywood S.

In Augsburg und Umgebung mussten etliche tausend KZ-Hftlinge zunchst im KZ-Auenlager Haunstetten, ab April 1944 im KZ-Auenlager Augsburg-Pfersee des Auenlagerkomplex Schwaben des Konzentrationslagers Dachau Zwangsarbeit leisten, fr Flugzeuge wie die Me 210, deren Nachfolger Me 410 sowie die Me 262. In comparison to the predecessor, the B-version had a number of modifications. - Food and Soda Drinks The title Kabinenroller means "scooter with cabin". 40,000 inmates from Spain, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, France, Russia, Hungarian Jews and twenty other nationalities were murdered during the production of these aircraft at KZ Gusen. At the end of September 1944, II./JG400 was formed, under the command of Lieutenant Peter Gerth (3/JG 400) and Oberleutnant Franz Woidich (4/JG 400). . While its speed was great, its maximum burn time for the engine was only slightly longer than 7 minutes, however this capability could be stretched by the pilots ability to switch the engine on and off throughout the flight. Jedoch gab es auch zwiespltige oder gar nachteilige Folgen. At that time, the size of both units was to be increased to 14 instead of 12 operational aircraft. Apparently Popp was still in close contact with Castiglioni and was perhaps even privy to the latter's plans for merging BMW with BFW. It also used special fuel that was specially designed for it, and thus there was no need for allocating the vital German fuel reserves to it. For this reason, the Me 163 was tested with some experimental weapon systems. 400. [citation needed], The first German attacks began almost immediately and employed different tactics from the morning mission. Heute ist das Gelnde komplett neu berbaut und an das frhere Flugzeugwerk erinnern nur noch die Namen mancher Straen, die nach Luftfahrtpionieren benannt sind. Most of the damaged aircraft were stranded in. The Me 163 also had another flaw, as it could be only used when the weather was clear. The new engine used different types of fuel tanks which necessitated the redesign of the fuselage interior.
