OK, here she is: the ultimate member of the Me 163 Komet family. It flew 3 times as a glider in the closing months of the WWII. In April 1945 US troops overran the Junkers family and 2 prototypes were destroyed. the third was given to the Soviets who developed the MiG I-270 interceptor out of it in 1947, which turned out to be a failure.
