The Germans did use rockets against Allied bombers. They put launch tubes in
the wings of FW-190s with the tubes set at about an 80 degree angle to the
wing cord.

The idea was to fly under a bomber and fire the rockets into it's
underbelly. You could detonate the bomb load, destroy the bomber, and have
the whole mess falling on you quicker than it even takes to describe.

Does anyone know why the allies didn't consider using their air
lauched rockets as air-to-air weapons during the war when the jets
started appearing? I thought it would have been a good idea to ward
off any attack from ME-262s or me-163s which were too fast to attack
with guns.
