Not sure, but I believe that picture with "Hanna" is really an actress and it's from a movie picture still.
They had enough directional control to do basic manouvers, although not enough to evade an interceptor if they became operational.Just how agile could a aircraft with just 2 axis control be ?
And then the rudder doesn't look like much either, especially when you look at that big strut supporting the engine just a few feet forward, with a cockpit canopy in front of that streamlined about as well as Snoopy's doghouse.
They can be started and operated in a static position.Also, if that is a flame coming out of the pulsejet, then everyone is very casual about the deafening roar. Not to mention it's my understanding that a pulsejet must be moving to ignite, or produce thrust.
Not hard to do - turn on fuel, turn on ignition and introduce airflow.Not so sure about that my friend. At least not without air being forced into the intake first.
