Faute de grives, la Luftwaffe décida donc de recourir à la formule de l'avion-gigogne. Produits à plusieurs centaines d'exemplaires, les «Mistel» n'étaient rien d'autre que des Junkers 88 inhabités, débarrassés de tout équipement, truffés de deux à trois tonnes d'explosifs, et sur le dos desquels on attachait un chasseur monomoteur Me-109 ou FW-190. Le pilote du chasseur assurait le décollage et le convoyage de l'ensemble, puis se libérait du bombardier après avoir lancé celui-ci sous un angle de 15 degrés vers la cible, sur laquelle il explosait quelques secondes plus tard. 1, record 1, French, - avion%2Dgigogne
