The rocket Plane Me163. The painting is called "First Mission". On 14 May 1944 Wolfgang Späte flew the first combat sortie for the Me 163. According to some sources, his Me 163 PK+QL was painted red, either in the factory or by the ground crew, resembling Manfred von Richthofen's Fokker Dr. I. Although he flew the mission (without success, twice unable to intercept the enemy when the rocket engine failed), Späte was not amused after seeing the plane and ordered it to be re-painted.
