Germans Use Mew Secret Weapon

London, Aug. l--UP-Germany
recently released another OF its
Wanted" secret weapons, a Mes
serschmitt 1873 rocket.propelled
fighter plane. in a desperate effort
to halt American bombers, II was
revealed today.
Preliminary reports indicate the
ME-l63's were defeated In their
first engagement with American
Lightning lighters but United
States Air Force headquarters
withheld judgment on its potent.
alities.
The new plane was secret" only
in the date when II would first
appear. Most OF It's details have
been known by Allied headquar-
ters for some time and what was
not known could be surmised from
Allied experiments with similar
craft.
II was the first OF two new wea-
pons Germany was expected To
throw into the air war The other
10 q jet.propelled fighter plane on
which virtually all nations, includ-
ing the United States, are known
to be working.
Both American and British heavy
bombers have been attacking
rocket and jet.propulsion engine
factories at Stuttgart and else
where in Germany on a large scale.
The authoritative magazine The
Airplane warned that the scale OF
attacks indicated that Germany
now has jet.propulsion engines In
production on a scale that may
threaten Allied air supremacy over
Europe.
First accounts OF the new rocket
plane indicate It merely is an
adaptation of rockets as booster"
power TO augment the gasoline
engine, when the pilot needs a
sudden burst OF speed to elude or
catch his opponent.
Difficulty with this use Of rockets
in the past was for the rocket
equipment actually slowed up the
planes except for a brief period
after the rockets were fired.
In the past single-motored fight.
ers carried only two rockets and
were so slowed they became easy
prey for American fighters.
