According to Tony O'Toole's book 'No Place For Beginners' regarding the airwar over Malta in 1940-41, on 19th January 1941 the Germans deployed a Glider Bomb to attack HMS Illustrious in Grand Harbour, Valetta. The bomb failed to explode so was defused and sent to the UK for examination. This was some two and a half years before Fritz X was first used in anger, so what was this weapon, and do any photos exist.
