Fi 103A-1/Re 4 Reichenberg – Historical Overview

The model depicts a German piloted jet-propelled missile developed at the end of World War II. The design was a modification of the famous V-1 (Fi 103) flying bomb, adapted for single-use by a suicide pilot in combat operations. The Reichenberg project was created as a desperate attempt by the Luftwaffe to increase the effectiveness of retaliatory weapons against Allied targets. Fi 103A-1/Re 4 machines were mainly tested in 1944-1945, but were never used in regular combat. The main user was Germany, and the project fits within the context of World War II operations.
