The most mysterious plane of WW2
Real or WW2 legend? During World War II, the only Axis nation to field a jet fighter was Germany. However, this common thought may be false because during the last week of the conflict in the Pacific, B-29 squadrons claimed to have seen "fireballs" while others claimed to have seen a ''Baka'' bomb also called Ohka. However, during the occupation, reports indicate the discovery of an aircraft very similar to the Ohka, but which is in reality an interceptor derived from it. Little information exists on this aircraft, which makes it one of the most mysterious of the Second World War, if not the most mysterious. It would then quite simply be Japan's first jet fighter, provided that it was real because its existence is not certain...

The lost WW2 jet bomber projects

In the last stages of WW2, the Germans tried to develop numerous ''Miracle Weapons'' in order to turn the tide of the conflict in their favor. These included the Me 262 jet fighter and the Arado Ar 234 Blitz. However, this is only the emerged part of the Iceberg since much more of these ''Wunderwaffen'' did not even passed the stage of the drawing board. One of these was the big brother of the ...

    None of the photos show a jet w air intakes like some of the artwork showed. They all show rocket planes derived from the Ohka. This makes one wonder; if they were willing to crash a Ohka into a ship; why they wouldn't do so against a B29?. The B29 had far fewer defensive weapons; and the small target size and speed would make it very difficult to intercept or shoot down with limited machine gun fire. The Ohka could fly up to 400 mph fast enough to intercept a B29 and fast enough for escort fighters to have difficulty trying to prevent a suicide collision. Doing this; the US air raids may have needed to be be suspended incuding the Abomb.

    Thank you for a very interesting video on a very interesting subject! This was actually one of the first "Wunderwaffe Luft '46" aircraft to make it into injection molded model kit form. The first Arado Ar-234B was from Lindberg in 1/72 scale, that came out in 1966. In 1976, FROG / Revell came out with an Ar-234 that could be built as either the B or C variant - the latter could even be built carrying a V-1 piggyback. Then, in the early 1990's, Dragon Models came out with much better 1/72 scale offerings. A short time later, several companies filled this gap for 1/48th aircraft modelers. For an aircraft that just made a cameo appearance in the closing days of The War, it is very well represented in kit form. 6th like.

      Thinking back, the American plastic model company Lindberg had several of the more obscure German WW2 aircraft in their lineup; including the Hs-129, the Me-163, the He-162 and the He-100 in 1/72 scale. Around that time, most model kit manufacturers would prefer to have 5% of the P-51 Mustang or Bf-109 market than to have 100% of the Ar-234 market, so Lindberg is to be commended for taking the chance. (If memory serves, the Lindberg Ar-234 suffered from a poorly designed, two-piece canopy that was split down the middle, leaving a nasty line no matter how well you assembled the kit.) But if nothing else, this proved that a viable market for Luft '46 subjects was out there. Now, there are few Luft '46 "Paper Planes" that are not represented in kit form, and 3D Printing will handle the remainder . . . .
