Reitsch, from the beginning, was to be the chief test pout for such a craft. In the death of a thousand of their to number the squadron hoped save the lives of many thousands. But plans had not progressed very far when insuperable obstacles were encountered.

There was a high fatality rate among the test pilots, but Reitsch came through and was convinced that this was the weapon that could be used. The partieu'nr danger in testing these planes was in landing them, whether as gliders or with a power unit, because of the speed and angle at which they came in. Ship targets were simulated by colored smoke bombs on the ground and dives and approaches were made to test angles and neeissary speeds. An intricate The pilots V-- l, - I V V ..
