Was that the same "vehicle" that was the subject of the movie "Operation Crossbow"?The piloted version of the V1 flying bomb was the Fiesler Fi-103R Reichenberg, which although similar in concept, has a number of noticable differences.
YES!

400+ mph at full throttle at low altitude
Speaking of Ohka, I just remembered that my Dad was stationed at Johnson Air Base in Japan back in the 50's and they had an Ohka displayed on a big stand.I know that, toward the end of the War, the Germans were experimenting with their own version of the Ohka Japanese kamikaze rocket plane; called Reichenbergs, they were, essentially, piloted V-1 bombs. Hanna Reitsch was big proponent of the Reichenbergs, and promoted them as the only way to stop the massive Allied air attacks on her homeland. The unit on top looks like a Reichenberg, but made by a different manufacturer.
Modern adaptation of a Pulse Jet(s)...if you're crazy enough (notice the absence of a helmetI'd like to see that in 1:1 scale..!!
