Good stuff. The date of the article caught my eye. It is almost exactly a year after Milch,Goering and Vorvald's initial cancellation of the Me210 and Messerschmitt's subsequent concession that the aircraft was not fit for operational service. The scramble to fix the Me 210,finally resulting in the Me 410 cost Messerschmitt AG 38,000,000 Reich Marks. There was a period,at the height of the war,when more than 4,000 Messeschmitt workers were literally standing around with nothing to do. The initial modifications,slats,fuselage extension etc cost 3,400 man hours per aircraft. The debacle even cost Willi Messerschmitt his job. After the Me210 fiasco he was only responsible for design and development.
Truly an awful aeroplane,but they did fix it.
Cheers
