    Interesting set of photos. I hadn't seen some of those before. As the craft was based upon the Messerschmitt Me 163 "Komet", the project was an interesting example German-Japanese collaboration, though it had all kinds of issues were encountered. Only a small handful were built by the end of the war and it didn't impact of the course of said.
