Kurt Schiebeler of 1./JG 400 survived 59 “sharp starts” (powered flights) in the Me 163, which may be a record on the type.  “White 2” was a Messerschmitt-built Me 163B-0 and was the aircraft Schiebeler was piloting on 11SEP44 when he claimed his fist Komet victory, a B-17.  He claimed a second Fortress on 01OCT44.  Schiebeler survived the war.
