aeronautical design, gained in a
study of planes shot down dur
ing the Battle of Britain, was
pooled with American knowl-
edge.
Colonel Watson's biggest haul
was made in Denmark, just be-
fore We Day. At airfields there,
and later in Normandy, many
German planes were found in
tact. The salvaged craft were
flown to Cherbourg, and a Brit
ish carrier delivered them to
Newark, N. j.
Now the strange collection OF
German planes has been assem-
bled in hangers at Freeman
Field, near Seymour. Ind. Here
they are taken apart, re-assem-
bled, studied, and analysed.
Performance data has been
obtained on such German craft
as the jet propelled Messer-
schmitt "262," a fast-climbing,
twin -motored fighter. Here, too,
experts are studying the rocket
type Messerschmitt "163-B" sim

climb to 10000 feet in a little
over two minutes but could
stay in the air only IL minutes.

Ice Command experts, noting It's
clumsy appearance and poor per-
formance, have concluded that
the Germans simply didn't know
how to build four-motor bomb
ers.
One Of the strangest expert
mental planes was the Viper,
a rocket propelled interceptor
launched with a pilot from a
vertical ramp. Its life in the air
was just 80 seconds, and then it
simply disintegrated. Complete
ly expendable, the craft was
made of wood and carried "a
rocket projectiles to be launch
ed against Allied bomber for
nations once the plane was in
the air. The pilot was elected
and dropped by parachute. The
tail fell off to drop the expen-
sive rocket unit was parachute.
Freeman Field has been set up
as experimental headquarters,
where Air Technical Service
Command expe will tear
apart both German and Jap
planes to learn the secrets Of
their performance: In addition,
the field will maintain a mu-
scum of World War II Allied
aircraft.
