Historical background of the Ba349A Natter

The BV Ba 349A "Natter" rocket plane was an experimental, single-use interceptor developed in Nazi Germany near the end of World War II. Its main task was to defend ground installations and cities against Allied bomber raids. The BV 349A was distinguished by vertical launch from a tower, a single-use combat mission, and, for its time, an avant-garde design partly constructed from wood. The aircraft was never used in combat, but several units performed test flights in 1945.
