What does it take to bring a piece of aviation history to life?
This stunning book was inspired by a single question asked during the Roll Out Event of our Messerschmitt Me 262 reproduction - after the aircraft sat static for over a decade:
“What can you tell us about the original aircraft used to reverse-engineer the Me 262? Where is it now, and what is its backstory?”
Inside the Me 262 answers that question in full, revealing the untold story behind the original airframes captured after WWII, their incredible postwar journeys, and the painstaking process of reproducing one of the most iconic aircraft ever built. Packed with rare, high-quality photographs, technical insights, and behind-the-scenes stories, this is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and fans of the Me 262.
Sold out at AirVenture 2025 - now available for a limited time online!
