Über Alles. The advent of friendly air

January 1940 was meant to see the story of automotive aerodynamics research reaching its pinnacle. The events that we have recounted over 43 chapters, each enhanced by the magical and wonderfully homogeneous illustrations created by Massimo Grandi, tell the story of a time of visionaries and dreamers. The 1939 T80, created at the behest of the Third Reich, and of Hitler in person, in order to give the world a sign of Germany’s supremacy, was built with the aim of beating the world land speed record by reaching 750 km/h. The project involved three key men: driver, Hans Stuck, technical director, Ferdinand Porsche, and aerodynamics specialist, Josef Mikci.
