The Rocket goes up

[andron234]

Hi guys, I have yet another question, Did the Germans use rockets (Balloon busting) on their WW1 planes? if so which planes? also what type over wing underwing mount?

[flash]

No. They used guns & incendiaries Drew. Some were quite good at it too !

There was some non-operational experimentation using Halberstadt and Albatros D-types, but it was abandoned, so operationally you're looking at 7.92mm incendiary bullets only.
