Just saw this article recently about German WW2 piggyback bombers.

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

The Mistel combo was less of a bomber but rather an early attempt to create a (more or less) non-suicidal guided air-to-ground missile to attack large hardened targets. However, IIRC there were concepts to carry a jet-powered bomber (IIRC one of the 1000x1000x1000 designs) on the back of a MASSIVE carrier aircraft close to the America coast and bomb targets there with it. Not certain what would happen to the crews of both aircraft after that mission, though...
