FLYING BOMB ON LAUNCHING
PLATFORM AND IN FLIGHT
Above: A Flying Bomb in position, on the bottom
of the ramp, ready for launching: note how well
concealed is the site among trees, the control
building being hardly discernable. Right: A side
view of the jet-propelled Flying Bomb over the sea.
Below: A rear view of the Flying Bomb as seen
from an intercepting fighter; this cine gun series
shows the intermittent flame from the jet-propulsion
unit and finally, cannon bursts exploding on the
fuselage.
