Atglen: Schiffer, 1998. 1st edition. Nice Copy. lge. octavo. dust jacket 260pp., b/w pls., text ills., appends., indexes, ÔIn August 1939 in Germany a small propellerless aircraft took off on its maiden flight under conditions of utmost secrecy: the worldÕs first jet aircraft. Apart from Ernst Heinkel, Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (inventor of the turbojet engine) & a small circle of their co-workers, no one suspected the profound effect that the successful flight of the tiny He 178 would have on aviation. Spurred on by Heinkel s success, very high speed aircraft were also put into the air by Messerschmitt, Arado & JunkersÕ
