ah but neither Kurt nor Mr. Brown ever flew the Tank in combat one on one with Allied escorts. Tank flew a C and outran P-51's but was not in combat. the Ta 152 was everything JG 301 wanted and the Dora was nothing compared to this a/c. find more on my web-site......scroll down for the English version of Reschke's memories. you'll also have to wait but much more on the Tank will be revealed in Jerry Crandall's future work on JG 301. Mongrams OOP title on the Ta 152 makes mention of several pilots who thought the Tank flew itself and the lift and manuverabilty of the long winged high altitude were bar none
