| Definately a Mistel concept. I don't know about the top aircraft, but those are surely pulse jet motors like that of the V-1 Buzz-bomb, two of them.

| Probably another Mistel concept. From what I've heard/read they tested a lot of different setups for the program |

| Mistelschlepp combination, tested in 1943, of a Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 attached to a modified DFS 230B (D-14-664). Althought successful, this method of launching the DFS glider was not adopted operationally. |

| Yep, Grampa got it in one, and the top combination was the Me 328 V-1 test mounted above a Dornier Do 217E-4. This was NOT intended as a Mistel guided bomb, but for testing aerodynamics of the Me 328. |
