Description
This book tells the story of the first manned rocket launch and its significance in the history of spaceflight. On March 1, 1945, Lothar Sieber became the first person to take off vertically from the ground under rocket power.
The Natter was a vertical take-off rocket fighter developed by Germany during World War II as part of their search for 'wonder weapons' to counter the Allied bomber threat. Its design and purpose were revolutionary, but its use in combat is now widely regarded as unlikely to have been successful.
With detailed photographs and captions, this book provides a comprehensive look at the Natter's history and development, shedding light on an often-overlooked chapter in the story of space exploration.
