Horten Ho 229
Designated the Horten Ho-IX, it was a revolutionary late-World War II prototype flying wing fighter/bomber, designed by Reimar and Walter Horten and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik.

Unsure what the real story is here chaps.

Intel thinks it was either to increase the range of fighter cover (but how would the fighter piolt get back?) or that the bomber was packed with explosives and the contraption was, in fact a sort of early pilot guided bomb.

Anyone out there have more info?
