Jagdgeschwader 400 (JG 400) was the only frontline Luftwaffe fighter wing squadron to fly the ME 163 rocket fighter operationally and under the supervision of their notable Commander Wolfgang Spate, first flew the aircraft on 16th August 1944. Its limited successes were almost equalled by its losses. The squadron - and with it the operational life of the ME 163B - was disbanded in April 1945. Here we see "White 54" in dark red brown and green camouflage scheme with white Luftwaffe markings and mottled grey fuselage to the upper body. The underside is painted in plain grey with black/white Luftwaffe markings. Several Me 163Bs exist in museums around the world as many were brought out of Germany after the end of the war for evaluation though none were flown! Designed as a rocket powered, high-speed, high-altitude interceptor, the Me 163 was first flown in the summer of 1941. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
