My entry for the challenge "WW2 1949"

Nasa has its flying telescope, Germany now has its flying Megawatt Laser.

During occupation in France, the French scientist Alfred Kastler (practical inventor of the LASER) is forced to developp this weapon for the Luftwaff. He will present it in 1950 to the public and win a Nobel prize for that but his LASER was ready for the army in 1949!

Flight Instruction************************************

VTOL UP right at the start!
Numbers are in order of operation

Retract landing gears: activate 1 and g then deactivate

Operate MEGAwatt LASER :
VTOL up
Activate 2 to open doors, deactivate
Activate 3 to lower the laser, deactivate
Activate 4 to aim in height, deactivate
Activate 5 to aim in cap, deactivate
