Okay...
I looked at that site..
I thought I knew of a lot of the X-planes Germany was working on..
I GOTTA ask... the Germans didn't have ALL of those things in the works...??
Some of those have to be someone's fictional ideas... right? (looks hopeful)
I mean.. if they really did think up all that stuff... that's scary... if
even 1 or 2 of those could have gotten into production before '44... wow.
Things could have turned out rather differently.
Glad they didn't but.. wow... makes you think...
I can definitely see German influence in a LOT of post-war aircraft styles
where I didn't necessarily see it before, now....
Thanks for sharing, Lindsay.
