Summary

[edit]
Description Ruhrstahl FX-1400 or Fritz-X guided anti-ship glide bomb of 1943 (range 3 mls). The radio-controlled missile was the first was the first precision-guided weapon to see combat and the first to sink a capital ship - the new Italian battleship Roma on 8/9/43. 400 Fritz-X's were built and it is illustrative of the incredible technological advances German scientists were making at the end of WWII, albeit with something of a scattergun approach. Pictured at the RAF Museum, Cosford, 01/97. Scanned photo taken with a Miranda MS-1N.
