Luftwaffe Emergency Fighters Blohm Und Voss P.212 , Heinkel P.1087c, Junkers Ef 128, Messerschmitt P.1101, P.1110 and P.1111, and Focke-wulf Ta 183.

In late 1944, the German Air Ministry organised what it
called an 'Emergency Fighter Competition' intended to
produce designs for quick-to-build yet technically and
tactically effective jet fighter aircraft capable of
tackling the anticipated arrival of the B-29 Superfortress
over Europe, as well as the British Mosquito and US P-38
Lightning which were appearing in ever greater numbers.
Thus was born a cutting-edge, highly sophisticated series
of aircraft including the futuristic and elegant Focke-
Wulf Ta 183; the extraordinary Blohm und Voss P.212, and
the state-of-the-art Messerschmitt P.1101 series. Armed
with heavy cannon and the latest air-to-air rockets and
missiles, these were designed to inflict carnage on
American bomber formations at high speed. Using stunning
three-view illustrations of each prototype along with full
colour artwork, aviation expert Robert Forsyth traces the
history of the extraordinary aircraft of the 'Emergency
Fighter Competition', Hitler's last throw of the dice in
the air war against the Allies.
