Post; worse than the worse


The german experimental Natter rocket craft was by no doubt, the most suicidal operational fighter ever conceived. This liquid rocket powered craft actual had a stubby winged tubular body with 24 rockets mounted in the nose, and was intended to fly to and shoot down U.S. bombers. What often happened was that the ship would uncontrollably veer off course, explode or worse, nose into the ground. Only a very few were built.
