Hi folks; The kamakazi plane i remember was made of
wood plus the uc after take off fell away to insure
a one way trip to heaven.The Roumanian fighters where
the first pics of them i’ve seen,must have been a bother
to taxi.The Horten and Arado surperb.:cool:

The u/c was indeed designed to fall away, but not because the authorities doubted the determination of the special attack volunteers. It’s just that there was a rubber shortage on, you see…

Edit – It’s a Ki-115. Wiki says the u/c thing was to save weight. Not what the Japanese TV said in a documentary I saw.
