Question Rockets on German Fighters

Gentlemen,

Do you know any details about experiments with unguided air-to-air rockets mounted on German fighters during World War I? Perhaps plenty of the rocket testings and maybe little actual use of them during combat were kept secret during wartime.

Sincerely,

Edward

Used In Combat?

Gentlemen,

I remember reading one statement from the forum thread that said Rudolf Nebel of Jasta 5 had alleged to have shot down two enemy planes using air-to-air unguided rockets I don't know if there were other shootdowns by German fighters using these rockets?

Sincerely,

Edward

According to The Jasta Pilots , Ltn Rudolf Nebel had only one victory with Jasta 5, and that was an FE2b.
