Summary: Tests on the He 112V-3 fitted with a Walter hydrogen peroxide rocket system.
Description: The system (which is an integral part of the aircraft) is first tested with the aircraft tethered. In a second test, the rocket is fired in flight. A number of take-offs using the rocket unit are shown, both with and without the assistance of the aircraft's engine. In the latter case, the aircraft glides back down to land. The final section appears to be part of an amateur film showing an He 72 Kadett fitted with the rocket unit in flight and landing.
