Henschel Hs 298

The Henschel Hs 298 was a 1940s German rocket-powered air-to-air missile designed by Professor Herbert Wagner of Henschel.

It was designed specifically to attack Allied bomber aircraft and was the first missile designed specifically for air-to-air use.

The only known test firings were carried out on 22 December 1944 with three missiles. Planned to enter mass production in January 1945 but the project was abandoned in favour of the X-4
