a brief note........... Rudi Opitz test pilot and active in JG 400 along with Späte and others told me they all new the inherent dangers of the mixing of certain elements and the causticity of their environment day in and day out, ease of which they could be shot down in the air once out of fuel(s), the crate was too plain fast to be effectively used in US bomber interception but in regards to the overall craft Rudi felt they were all journeying beyond the stars, no other nation had anything comparable to this little "Flea" during this stage of the war.
