Description
The Mistel project involved packing a war-weary bomber airframe with explosives and guiding it to its target by a fighter aircraft mounted above it on a set of struts. After releasing the bomber, the fighter would return to base. This version was planned on paper, never actually flew, but shows one of the different options the Luftwaffe were considering as the Allies closed in during the latter months of the war.
