Arado Ar 234 B-1 of the Sonderkommando Sperling flying out of Rheine in 1944. This aircraft shows clearly the Walter HWK 500A-1 rocket motor, one on each wing, used to assist take-off. After take off they were jettisoned and recovered via parachute. Provisions were made to use these rockets on all Ar 234's from the third prototype onwards.
