Messerschmitt Me P.1101/99 (Zerstorer)

History

By mid-1944 it was clear to the Germans that Allied bombardment day and night was taking a toll on morale, infrastructure and combat facilities. As a result, the authorities Several measures were devised to stem the wave of aerial failure, which resulted in a large number of jet and rocket-powered interceptors and "Zerstorers" (or "Zerstorers") responding to the threat head-on. The presentation of the subject is "P. 1101/99", supplied by the traditional Messerschmitt Group (maker of the classic piston-powered Me 109 fighter, rocket-powered Me 163 "Komet" interceptor and Me 262 Schwalbe" jet aircraft) - powered fighter). This proposed aircraft belongs to the "P.

1101" family of jets, of which the P. 1101 itself (detailed elsewhere on this page) did much more before the end of the war in 1945 work.

P. 1101/99 credited to Messerschmitt engineer Hans Hornung, expected to achieve initial operational capability (IOC) sometime in 1948 (if the war lasted that long).
