Phil Perry Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Hitler's last gasp! Kamikaze Doodlebug with room for a PILOT that was the Nazis' final bid to bomb Britain is to go on view 47 years after it is saved from the scrapheap As far as I was aware, Hanna Reitsch, whilst normally employed at the JU87B factory testing Stukas, did some test flying on the V1 prototype to iron out some control stability difficulties. . .nothing mentioned then about 'Kamikaze' Germans, but then, the DM likes clickbait headlines. The V2 was already a resounding success and could not be intercepted by British fighters as it was somewhat too quick, antoher reason why I can't see much sense in using V1s for suicide missions, but you never know with old Adolf. . . Some good pics and interesting bits though . . .
