THE SEAT IN A FLYING-BOMB
[photograph]
Picture taken at Celle, Germany, in 1945 of a grounded V.1 with a cockpit modification is sent to us by reader F GOODWIN, of Leek-road, Bucknall, Staffs, who writes:
YOUR recent remarks about Hanna Reitsch, the German airwoman who once flew in a converted V1 flying-bomb, reminded me of this photograph of a V1 fitted with a cockpit. I took it at Celle, Central Germany, at the end of the war.
I was told that it was designed to be piloted. the pilot bailing out after setting the bomb at its final target, an extremely hazardous operation considering the suction of the jet intake immediately behind the cockpit.
As far as I know, these piloted bombs were never used – which was just as well for all concerned!
Too true – those horror weapons would have been little more than suicide planes.
