Description
The Bachem Ba 349 Natter was a radical aircraft designed to defend against Allied bombers. Launched vertically at high speed, it was armed with rockets and a cannon, allowing its pilot to intercept enemy planes and ram them before ejecting and parachuting to safety. This book examines the inventive yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt by the Luftwaffe to counter the Allied bombing campaign during World War II. Illustrated with contemporary photographs and commissioned artwork, it provides a detailed look at this unusual aircraft and its intended role in German air defense. The story of the Natter is one of innovation and experimentation, highlighting the Luftwaffe's efforts to find new ways to combat the enemy despite being outnumbered and outgunned.
