About the Ba 349:
The Bachem Natter illustrated the desperation that Germany had descended into
late in WWII. This small lightweight expendable interceptor was launched vertically
with the assistance of its main HWK 509A-2 rocket engine, and four SR 34 rockets
providing additional thrust for takeoff. After firing on enemy aircraft (for
example, Allied bombers) with its air-to-air rockets or missiles, the pilot
and aircraft would part company and descend separately by parachute. This “manned
missile” was designated Ba 349, and its codename was Natter (Viper). This novel
aircraft was of wooden construction.
