Introduction by Calum Laird, Commando Editor...
One look at the cover tells you all you need to know about this
story - it's a real flight of fancy (and I don't just mean
because there are Germans with jetpacks). Or is it? As more
information on the Third Reich's secret weapons programme comes to
light, some of the gear drawn up by Ortiz doesn't seem so
far-fetched.
Perhaps author Eric Hebden, who had been a Major in the British
Army, had some inside knowledge... who knows?
Whether he did or not, it's a great story, and Ken Barr's
"Nazis With Jetpacks" sums the whole thing up. Now, I must
fly...
