For those out there that live for realism and depth, Wings of Power aircraft deliver on a scale never seen before. However, even with all this tremendous detail, you can still just throw the throttle forward and fly away. Shockwave has been fortunate enough to acquire some of the rarest flight test data, captured by the Allies during the invasion of Europe. Our best sources were actual hand-plotted reports from German test pilots, which are likely the truest measure of how this aircraft actually performed (not the typical inflated, published performance figures made to sell the aircraft to the military). These documents were created under the supervision of lead test pilot / test program director Hans Sander, so their legitimacy is unparalleled.
