Manuscript on verso reads: "Philippeville, 29 septembre 1922 - Mon cher Emile - Me voilà chez moi et loin de toi, tu sais que je conserve toujours l'espoir que tu viennes me voir au commencement de l'année prochaine - Tu as peut-être appris par tes parents que j'avais fait une bonne traversée, heureusement que nous sommes partis par le courrier du 18 sans quoi nous subissions les conséquences de la grève chose qui n'aurait pas été amusante - Et toi mon Cher Emile je pense que tu es arrivé en bonne santé à Mailly- ton service militaire doit être toujours le même - turbin sur turbin et les galons arriveront - Je languis de recevoir de tes nouvelles ainsi que de tes parents, je te prie de croire que c'est bien souvent que je pense à vous tous, aussi maintenant que je me trouve seule, je m'ennuie, pour me distraire je me rappele les bonnes soirées que nous avons passées ensemble, ces bonnes parties de manille, Dieu sait quand nous pourrons les refaire - Ne m'oublie pas auprès de tes parents - Reçois de bons baisers affectueux de ta tante qui t'aime - Léonie- En écrivant à tes parents, j'ai oublié de demander des nouvelles de Mousse." Translated verso reads: [Philippeville, September 29, 1922 - My dear Emile - I am at home and far away from you - I keep hoping that you will come to visit me at the beginning of next year - You probably heard from your parents that I had a good crossing - luckily we left by the ''vessel'' of the 18 otherwise we would have suffered the consequences of the strike which would have not been funny - And you my dear Emile, I think that you arrived in a good health in Mailly - Your military duty must be the same old same old thing- and the stripes will arrive - I miss receiving news from you and your parents, you can believe me when I say that I think a lot about all of you, now that I am alone, I am bored, so to entertain myself I recall the good evenings we spent together, when we were playing cards, only God knows when we will be able to play again - Don't forget me next to your parents - Smacks from your aunt who loves you - Léonie - Writting to your parents, I forgot to ask how is Mousse doing.]

Working conditions in Argentina, quality of labor, and other difficulties designing, building, and flying airplanes in that country; [4:52] towed Pulqui II with Ju 52. [9:42] Reimar's work on H IX center section, Reimar discusses the 17mm-thick plywood used to cover the center section, different layers of wood, glue, experimenting with Horten II to work out design of turbine air intakes without turbulence, angle of intake relative to wing chord … [16:00] Schiedhauer flew the test Horten II (Horten IX nose intakes), [17:03] BMW 003 engines considered for Horten IX but not ready; [18:10] Franz told Reimar he could turn 004 ninety degrees to accommodate 004 in center section, as originally designed, but RLM said no. [21:00] Reimar describes problems with resizing the center section to accept 004 with accessories, [25:48] center section geometry (of steel tubes) changed four times – changes in air intake placement and geometry, 003 to 004, then when Junkers arrived with accessories on the exterior of the engine, (4th change?) … 003 size changed and clearance between engine and structure, temperature and maintenance concerns. [28:24] Turbine mockup different from actual engine (BMW 003). After all changes, Center of Gravity balanced without need for ballast [29:21]. [31:15] RLM did not allow Reimar to rotate 004 to make diameter smaller, but Franz at Junkers agreed to turn the engine; [34:31] Junkers/Franz gave Reimar no assistance, had no men to spare to send to Reimar to help him design the 004 installation in Horten IX. [35:30] Reimar sent his own men to visit Franz for guidance to use 004 …more details on rotating 004 to fit center section, Reimar and Myhra refer to photos of the Horten IX V3 center section, "rotated about 15 degrees" on the drawing …extended discussion about placement of engines with reference to drawings or photographs of Horten IX V2 and V3 …Myhra and Reimar agree that the top wing surface on the Horten IX V2 (Reimar's exclusive design) was much smoother than Horten IX V3 altered by Gotha, Reimar cannot explain why the changes. More discussion about shape of center section on V3, engine placement, surface details. [59:03] "The drawing is bad." – Reimar detects error in the drawing they are studying.

[6:10] Reimar destroys some, but not all, the documents he carried about the Junkes 004 engine; [9:00] Reimar picked up by Americans in the Harz Mountains, by jeep to Göttingen, DC-3 aircraft to London, arrived 7 April 1945 [11:54]. Reimar on some problems with the 004 engine (as installed in Horten IX at Göttingen?).

[25:20] Walter gets 30 SS men to help his team until the end of the war, "good hard workers." [26:27] Flight test program at Oranienburg on Horten IX V2, Reimar and Walter told Ziller to make 30-minute flights at 4,000 meters altitude or less, Ziller reported that the Horten IX could out-turn Me 262 in mock dogfights (so flown more than 3 times?!), landed more slowly, could out-climb that aircraft, Horten IX could climb about 20-22 meters per second, based on telephone reports from Ziller, these were Reimar's "impressions," precise measurements not made. [34:12] Fastest speed, not over 500 kph or over 4000 m = 600 kph, Ziller climbed at full throttle but did not use full throttle in level flight. [41:30] Ziller made 8-10 flights in Horten IX V2, says Reimar. Reimar on Rössler, he needed to be "protected," medical condition, other trauma? [46:39] Ziller landed "hard" in Horten IX V2, bent struts, lost 14 days repairing the aircraft in January 1945 …Reimar discusses these repairs, allocation of men, tools, etc. [55:06] Horten IX V2 a sensational airplane to other personnel at Oranienburg, Myhra says they called it "Fledermaus," or bat. [56:00] Walter ordered a Horten IV brought to Oranienburg to demonstrate high-performance sailplane to Göring's staff, RLM officials visited, to sell aero community on all-wing potential, Schiedhauer could fly in spare time. [59:00] Walter reported one of the turbines stalled …Reimar believed engine ok, Walter reported engine sometimes stalled during start, Junkers mechanics found nothing wrong.
