Bf.110 used in North Africa, supported the insurgents in Iraq in May 1941 goda.Na Soviet-German front, these planes were used little. Basically, they were used as fighter-bombers. When attacking the aerial target success accompanied them only in surprise. If sprang up maneuver fight, the fighters Bf.110 lost even older types (the case when the summer of 1941 at Taganrog on a Soviet pilot shot down I-15 just 3 Bf.110). With the emergence of a large number on the front of the Yak-1 and LaGG-3 loss Bf.110 increased significantly and the job they had to fly accompanied Bf.109. In the summer of 1943, almost all the surviving Bf.110 were withdrawn from the eastern front of the Air Command "Reich" (Germany's air defense) Since the beginning of the night raids on British air industrial facilities in Germany Bf.110D effectively used as a night fighter. Because of its range, powerful weaponry and the ability to carry a radar Bf 110 had an excellent chance to continue to fight in the night sky. The modification Bf 110 G-4 was installed radar FuG 202/220 «Lichtenstein». The operator of the radar is placed between the pilot and gunner, the team increased to three people. Night fighters often staffed by setting "slanting music».
Messerschmitt Me.163 Comet - German missile interceptor WWII.
The first flight made September 1, 1941. He produced a small series. By the end of 1944 it delivered 91 aircraft. First
sortie made May 14, 1944. These aircraft made a few missions, and it was shot down 11 machines, while they were able to kill only 9 of US-29. Because of the small amount of fuel the plane could not make a second run-up.
Me-163 had a liquid-propellant rocket engine, which was submitted to 80 percent hydrogen peroxide and the catalyst liquid (potassium permanganate solution or a mixture of methanol, hydrazine hydrate and water). In the combustion chamber, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form large amounts of superheated steam-gas mixture, creating a powerful jet thrust.

The first flight made September 1, 1941. He produced a small series. By the end of 1944 it delivered 91 aircraft. First
sortie made May 14, 1944. These aircraft made a few missions, and it was shot down 11 machines, while they were able to kill only 9 of US-29. Because of the small amount of fuel the plane could not make a second run-up.
Me-163 had a liquid-propellant rocket engine, which was submitted to 80 percent hydrogen peroxide and the catalyst liquid (potassium permanganate solution or a mixture of methanol, hydrazine hydrate and water). In the combustion chamber, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form large amounts of superheated steam-gas mixture, creating a powerful jet thrust.
