It’s November 2nd, 1944. During a huge air battle that rolled across the German skies USAAF P-51 Mustang fighter escorts encountered a highly unusual enemy – Me 163 Komet rocket interceptors. This was the largest number of Komets in the air in history. A desperate battle ensued with Komets trying to evade Mustangs while taking down Americana B-17s.
