Finnish Edition |
 In December 2012 the book "The First Jet Pilot" has been published as well in Finnish language by Koala-Kustannus. Entitled "Ensimmäinen Suihkukonelentäjä", it has been translated by Raimo Malkamäki.
Author Lutz Warsitz has recalled the many conversations with his father, in which the latter recounted in the original aviator's jargon the exciting story of the Heinkel He 176 and He 178 development. Little is known of this pioneer period because of the strict secrecy which shrouded the whole project. It is a fascinating story that tells of the birth of the jet age and flight as we know it today.
