	Bachem Ba 349B-1 Natter (BP-20)
		Erich Bachem's Ba 349 Natter (Viper) was the world's first, manned, vertical-take-off interceptor.
		Bachem positioned each vane within the exhaust plume of the main engine, a Walter 109-509A rocket motor.
		It is safe to assume that the Bachem Ba 349A Natter was a bad idea from the start and as a bomber interceptor, it was a total failure.

		The Bachem Ba 349 Natter (Viper), a semi-expendable, vertically-launched, piloted missile, was one of the several desperate yet ingenious measures improvised to defend the German skies.
		The Ba 349 was built using bonded and screwed wooden parts, a simple metal structure and armored cockpit.
		Bachem proposed that, as American bombers approached their target, the Ba 349 would be sent soaring vertically through the formation.

	Bachem Ba 349 Natter
		Bachem had submitted his proposal through influential but unofficial channels offered by his close associate Hans Jordanoff, and as Technical Director of the Fieseler-Werke, builders of the V-1 flying bomb, he also had close ties with Peenemunde.
		The Natter, however, had fixed nozzles to redirect the thrust, and as the ‘g’ force on takeoff could be so powerful that the pilot might momentarily lose consciousness, it needed a degree of built-in control as it left the gantry to avoid any erratic manoeuvres.
		As a result, the Natter was ‘locked’ into the launch towers, its ailerons fixed to direct the aircraft, once free of the tower, until its pilot was conscious again and could override the built-in automatic pilot.

	Bachem Ba 349 Information
		Bachem Ba 349 Natter ("Colubrid") was a WWII era German experimental rocket-powered interceptor aircraft which was to be employed in a very similar way as surface-to-air missiles.
		Several sources claim that an operational unit of Natters was set up by volunteers in Kirchheim (Teck) but didn't carry out any operations, but the evidence for this is inconclusive.
		Two Ba 349s are still existent—one at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C., and one at the Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany.

		This simple innovative project designated Bachem Projekt 20, which was accepted by the Air Ministry and received the official RLM designation Ba 349, was code-named Natter (Viper).
		Erich Bachem, formerly the Technischer Direktor of the Fieseler firm.
		The Ba 349 M2 was completed soon thereafter and the first takeoff under air-tow of the third prototype, Ba 349 M3, was made at Neuburg on the Danube on December 14, 1944.

		Bachem got the extra thrust from four Schmidding 109-533 solid-fuel rocket motors that he bolted to the aft fuselage, two per side.
		Bachem set up a factory to design and build his dream at Waldsee in the Black Forest.
		The Ba 349A displayed at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California is a wooden mock-up.

		The Natter was blasted straight up into the sky on a gantry tower; the tower could be tilted flat to be loaded up with an aircraft.
		In fact, in the original concept, the Natter was to have rammed a bomber after expending all rocket ammunition, with the pilot ejecting before impact, but fitting an ejection seat proved difficult and too expensive.
		A Natter was hauled to altitude underneath a Heinkel He-111 bomber and released; the test pilot, a FlugKapitan Zeuber, reported that the Natter handled crisply, and he had no problems with the escape procedure.

	Bachem Ba 349 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bachem Ba 349 Natter (Adder) was a World War II era German experimental rocket-powered interceptor aircraft which was to be employed in a very similar way as surface-to-air missiles.
		There are three launch pads for the Bachem Ba 349 in the Hasenholz forest near Kirchheim/Teck at 48°37'42,2" N, 9°29'57,4"E, 48°37'42" N, 9°29'53,5"E and 48°37'39,8" N, 9°29'54"E. They are all that remain from the active launch site constructed in 1945.
		A restored Ba 349A is on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany.

	Bachem Ba 349
		The Natter was rocket propelled, using two highly volatile fuels that would "explode if you looked at it crosseyed." This fuel was the infamous mixture of T-stoff and C-stoff, so incredibly explosive that the two would combust if they even made contact with the other.
		Twenty four 55-mm unguided rockets were mounted in the nose of the Natter and were to be fired into a group of bombers.
		In April of 1945 nine of the 36 Natters that had then been completed were set up to await the next wave of Allied bombers, but US ground troops suddenly attacked and the Germans themselves destroyed the Natters to keep them from falling into Allied hands.

		Built mostly of non strategic material (wood and steel), the Natter was designed to fire a volley of R4M rockets in it's nose and for the pilot to then bail out of his aircraft.
		The Natter was launched vertically from a mobile tower by four solid rocket boosters, after which the liquid fuel rocket (same as used in the Me-163) would ignite for the rest of the sortie.
		The DML/Dragon kit consists of a Natter, two crewmen, a handling trestle and a large circular base (which takes up a great deal of the box) for all this to be placed upon.

	Bachem Ba.349
		The Bachem Ba.349 "Natter" was a small piloted interceptor, launched from a vertical ramp.
		However, a new proposal was pushed forward by its designer Erich Bachem which was a semi-expendable target defence interceptor; half way between the original requirement and a flak missile, Bachem's BP 20 could be deployed in a similar fashion to the "Julia" but was less complex for the pilot.
		However, Bachem was convinced of the viability of his design and sought an interview with Heinrich Himmler - the BP 20 was reconsidered within hours, and allocated a high development priority with the official designation Ba.349.

		The Ba 349 was a small, partly-expendable rocket-engined fighter.
		After a descent to about 1400m, the Natter broke up and the pilot and engine were to be recovered by parachute.
		Only tests flights were made, but the Ba 349 was put on operational status in April 1945.

		Designed to destroy American bomber formations with a nose-cone full of high-explosive rockets, the Natter would be abandoned by the pilot, with part of the aircraft jettisoned for re-use.

		The Natter is represented by both vacuform kits, as well as part of an injection-molded set by HELLER and this month’s review subject by DML/DRAGON.
		DML has provided two versions of the Natter, one with a launch tower and (the object of this review) with a detachable rear fuselage exposing the Walther rocket motor.
		I haven’t seen any photos of Natters with wing and fuselage crosses and swastikas on the tail, but it might have been done and considering the state of the Reich at this point, I honestly doubt that accuracy was on everybody’s mind.

		The pilot-operated Bachem Ba 349 "Natter" ("Adder") was one of several unexpected new weapons Germany was seeking to perfect for a more effective defense against Allied heavy bombers.
		The idea of the ground-to-air missile to slow down, if not stop, attacking aircraft was one of the greatest developments to come out of World War II, and Germany led the field.
		David Myhra has taken 240 photographs and illustrations from his collection and presents the world's first defense interceptor missile - the manned Ba 349 "Natter."
