More to the point the project wasnt even sanctioned until June 1942
and then only as a result of the unsustainable losses that had forced
the Luftwaffe to abandon its air attacks on the UK


The weapon still flew by December 1942.


A prototype flew , sort of, in December 1942 but not very far.

It was a LONG hard slog to get from that to a deployable weapons
system. The flights consisted of one failure after another as weapons
crashed shortly after launch and mass production didnt start until April
1944
