During the Second World War both Germany and Japan developed
several types of anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles.
Unfortunately for them, the Allies were technologically superior in
electronic warfare by mid-1944, just in time to interfere the
guidance systems of first generation. The Japanese thought to have
found the tactic to stop the invasion fleets, with the ritual of
the terminal dive bombing. The Germans adapted their Sturmjager
squadrons to the Taran tactics learnt from the Soviets. Once the
radio frequency war was lost, the Axis scientists tried to develop
other control techniques. But the acoustic, electrostatic and
infrared sensors, together with the TV guidance system, were not
ready on time and broken cables made the wire guided bombs
frequently fail. Both countries began to design ramming fighters
and suicide bombers when the futile devastation of their cities by
the Allies bombers ensured that, when the time comes, there would
not be lack of volunteer pilots. But this book is just about
machines, depicting all known designs of all Axis suicide airplanes
and panic fighters."
