This contraption almost worked!

You can get these from Shapeways! There are rules and maneuver decks for these in the files. Jager has run a game or two with them. I have a set to paint up one of these days.

That's hilarious! So, if these are available from Shapeways, then surely Shapways would have the Kettering Bug flying bomb.
Now I have to look up Jager's AAR.
Zoe got the ball rolling on this iirc:

This is interesting. Launching a swarm of Kettering Bugs, some will get through defenses. Also, the Bug's very slow speed could be an advantage.
Ah, I didn't look closely thinking the photo was a Kettering Bug. What is that beast?
It's an experimental gliding torpedo, wire guided, dropped from a Zeppelin.
Clipper made some of these, IIRC. I can't remember if any rules came out. It would be very slow moving.
For my bug game(s):

Moving forward 25 years or so......this ain't a captured V-1
Is it a Jindavik
The Jindivik first flew about ten years later. But, good guess, Gary.
The photo above is the JB2 flying bomb, basically a U.S. copy of the infamous V-1. The JB1 was an original two-engine design that was deemed a failure.
