less pick-a-back bomber crammed

The crewless plane was shot down
by a Royal air force fighter several
nights ago.
cit made a colossal splash but
that's ALL" said Capt. R. C. Lewis,
who witnessed the end of the bomb
er from his beach anti-aircraft post.
"The idea is old but the Germans
have given it a new twist. It's a
Messerschmitt-109 fighter married
to a Junkers-88 bomber" Captain
Lewis said. "The Junkers is stripped
of all armament and its glasshouse,
or nose, is filed with explosives to
make a warhead.
"The planes take off together,
pick-a-back style, with the Junkers
remotely controlled by the Messer-
schmitt pilot who guides it until the
last moment when it is set on a
course to crash against a selected
target"
This was the first reported use of
the weapon and apparently has not
been repeated. Raj pilots said it
made a beautiful target"
