BU-181 with panzerfausts.
Ah, the Grasshopper’s evil cousin. Beginning March 1945, in an aircraft with almost twice the horsepower and almost twice as fast. They shoulda paid Bazooka Charlie royalties anyway. Suicide missions to go against the Russians in those things tho, so no flies on the pilots.

a former client of mine, now deceased, flew one of those in europe during the war. he hit france day plus two, flying over the channel. Didn't have a gas guage, had a cork floating in a glass vial to indicate gas levels. he had some interesting stories, like landing at what he thought was an abandoned luftwaffe base, and taxing up to the hangers when he noticed they grey uniforms running towards him, oh oh. when they took sauer, germany he pocketed a little 38h pistol, stuck it in his duffle bag. next day he got shot from ground fire, about a year in the hospital. couple years after the war his duffle bag showed up, pistol still in it. brand new off the assembly line. He did let me take it a part and clean it, eventually went to his son. Bob was a great guy.

Nah. Nobody would do anything that crazy. LOL! No worries, I read your book. I'm pretty sure you've met the requirements of the Bazooka Charlie Club

Used to carry contraband into a penal facility when I was in 3rd grade. aka Hodge elementery in Savannah Ga
Bazooka gum.
I think it was surplus from WW2
that white powder inside the wrapper was cyanide in case we got busted.
