Re: BV 138 + Rocket projectiles???

Yes, i would go with the Flare story too, i can't find any record of rockets being used on the BV 138.

Staying on the subject of Flares, One Blenheim RAF airgunner, i think during the Battle of Britain or just before claimed two BF109's after shooting a flare at them having used up all his ammunition.
The 109's reared up on seeing the flare traveling towards them and crashed into each other mid English Channel.

I can understand in a state of mad desperation flares being fired in defence, but not in attack as they would acheive nothing!
