| Must have been a logistical nightmare, trying to make sure the two planes acted as one with flaps and rudder control, etc.

Besides it was not that difficult to do. Any decent aircraft company can make it work and Heinkel did. The concept was not new and it was not a difficult task to build it.

| No there were none that were done like this. There was no point to it.
