Looks like an V-1 made big enough to hold a pilot on a one-way mission... http://www.flyingheritage.com/Templa...x?contentId=33 "Place in history: Late in the war, several piloted V-1s were built. The plan was that a pilot would guide the missile into position close to its target and bail out at the last moment. It was essentially a suicide mission, as it would have been very difficult to open the canopy against the wind resistance and in the unlikely event that the pilot was able to climb out he would have undoubtedly have been sucked into the intake of the engine. "This manned missile killed several pilots during landing in flight tests. All of the Reichenbergs were air-launched from planes, unlike the unmanned V-1s that were mostly fired from ground-based catapult ramps. The war ended before Germany could use the Reichenberg in combat. go Warriors! |

(in article ): Thanks - an interesting picture. What's the aircraft with the painted-out swastika - the one between the Reichenberg and the levitating Condor? |

Dunno...just guessing but it looks like the pics were taken after the war and the captured aircraft were on display with British insignia repainted on them. * |

I believe it is original. The FHC prides itself on original specimens and accurate restoration. They also have the only flying Fw 190, complete with BMW engine. Some more of the Fi 103 from a few years back. |
