X PLANES OF THE THIRD REICH SERIES An Illustrated Series on Germany's Experimental Aircraft of World War II The 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Tank built for Presidenté Juan Perón.This photographic history of the 183 by David Myhra features 129 mostly previously unpublished photos, three-view line drawings, and stunning state-of-the-art digital color images.
