About the M-23b1 Messerschmitt:

During the final years of World War II, the German aviation industry worked intensively on advanced jet aircraft and experimental combat designs. Messerschmitt projects included both developments of existing aircraft and entirely new aerodynamic concepts intended to provide an advantage over Allied aviation. The M-23b1 belonged to a group of lesser-known experimental aircraft projects that never reached full-scale production, but today remain interesting examples of late-war aviation technology development.
