World War II saw the development of the world's first practical jet-powered research aircraft, which paved the way for the creation of the Me 262 and Meteor, the world's first jet fighters. Germany, Italy, and Britain engaged in top-secret jet programmes to develop the airpower of the future, with various experimental aircraft being trialled. These included the German Heinkel He 178 research aircraft and Heinkel He 280 jet fighter prototype, the British E.28/39 research aircraft built by Gloster Aircraft, the stillborn E.5/42 fighter and E.1/44 Ace fighter prototype, and the remarkable Italian Caproni-Campini N.1/CC 2 research aircraft. Illustrated throughout with full-colour artwork and rare photographs, this fascinating study examines the fore-runners to the military jet age.
