1:18 Hs-293 German Flying Bomb Kit
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2018 6:23 pm
I thought I would try something for the flight enthusiasts here. This “flying bomb” was apparently the first cruise missile. It was designed and used by the Germans as a ship killer. It apparently was fairly successful.
Early versions were controlled by mothership plane with an extremely long wire. Later versions used radio signals to enable the driver in the mother plane to guide and this all the way to its target.
Good summary of how it worked including historic footage of it in flight.
