| Series 4 | Delta-Winged Aircraft | 1904-1982, n.d. |
| extent: | 14 boxes | |
| description: | The series holds over 1,000 photographs of delta-wing planes, especially the Me163, the fastest plane of World War II. Many articles (see Box 21) and patent applications (Box 14 and Box 17 are strongest) about the wing Lippisch designed are contained here, too. Additionally, this series contains test results and experimental data (refer to Box 18, Folders 13-29 and all of Box 20). | |
