The Messerschmitt Me 328 was conceived in 1942 as a cheap and simple high-speed low-level bomber and emergency fighter. Smaller than the He 162, its construction was to be mainly of wood and power was to be provided by a pair of Argus pulsejet engines, similar to those used by the V-l flying bomb. Two versions were proposed, the Me 328A fighter and Me 328
bomber; it was estimated that four Me 328s could be built for every Fw 190 or Me 109 fighter. Gliding trials were made, the aircraft being air-launched from a Dornier 217, but powered trials in 1944 proved disappointing. A further version, the Me 328C, was proposed, to be fitted with a Jumo 004 turbojet. This and a proposed piloted glider-bomb version came to nothing.

| Dan Kelly, dankelly60=yahoo.com, 09.08.2010 I found a technical manual on this plane. It's in excellent condition. It is written in German and contains photographs and sketches. Is there a market for such materials? | | Lorenzo from Montesilvano(Pe)., liga_mitica=hotmail.it, 02.02.2009 Was impossible to use the Me 328 because the engine vibrations were too strong for the wooden structure of this plane . The Argus pulsejets had 300 kg of thrust each and were the same of the Fieseler 103 V-1 flying bombs . Germans wanted to use it as lov-level parasite fighter and selbstopfer bomber . | | Lorenzo from Montesilvano(Pe)., liga_mitica=hotmail.it, 14.01.2009 Was impossible to use the Me 328 becaue the engine vibratins were too strong for the wooden structure of this plane .
