Specification for the Ta 154A Mistletoe unit with the Fw 190 A-8 as command aircraft. About 50 percent of the Ta 154 was to be constructed of wood & used as an unmanned ' Heavy Bomber Destroyer' against the American bomber formations. With a combined take-off weight of around 14.5 tons the 2.5 to 3.5 tons heavy warhead was attached to the nose of the Ta 154. The pilots task of the was to flythe unit
- from above & ahead or astern of the main bomber formation
- & on a collision course separate the command aircraft & explode the Ta 154 amongst the bomber formation by remote control. According to calculations the explosive device would cause all aircraft within a radius of about 200 meters to crash. Inthe autumn of 1944 a few Ta 154 A-0 had been prepared accordingly. They were never test flown or operationally deployed.
