New embodiment of several old old ideas.
Notably, the He-111Z had success as a glider tug for the Me-321.
The He-111Z did not have a "bridging" tailplane, but the Me-109Z and the P-82 (all of which were twin fuselage aircraft) did.
And, of course, rockets being launched from aircraft dates back to the B-29/X-1 combo.
The ALBM (air-launched ballistic missile) testing dates back to the 1970s, notably with the testing of a Minuteman 1b ICBM dropped/launched from a C-5A Galaxy.
