Halle, Germany - April 10, 1945
| |
Description summarized from an Internet source:
A fighter (Focke-Wulf FW-190A [shown above], Messerschmidtt Bf109,
or other) mounted atop a Junkers Ju-88 loaded with explosives.
The fighter pilot would guide the Ju-88 into a crash trajectory
on the target, and separate himself from the Ju-88. Electronic
flight controls permitted the fighter pilot to fly the transporter
from his plane. The guiding fighter was mounted on steel struts,
and separation was obtained by means of explosive bolts. |
