| Not really, Henk. I´m into WWII American planes. I just came across these colour photographs by chance and hoped someone could fin them useful. Despite the fact the activites of the Horten brothers are very interesting, the WWII period is such an extensive topic it makes me specialise. Therefore, I´m into Americans. | |

| And that exactly is the thing. I´ve been interested in WWII for more than 30 years and it was the understanding that I would not be able to reasonably cover the entire topic of WWII air war that made me decide to focus myself. My hobby is US planes and US Air Force operations in WWII, but I welcome information about planes and air forces of other countries as well. If you are interested in some specific items, I can send them to you, if I have them. | |

I've some more images on another computer. I'll post them as soon as possible. I used fractal decompression software to enlarge some smaller Ho IX images and they look quite good.

Country: | I agree that the whole topic is so vast to cover and therefor I specialize as well and I prefer to specialize in the Luftwaffe aircraft because it was just so crazy the things they would come up with. I do however love all of it and try to learn as much as possible about every nations aircraft in WW2.
The Horton Brothers were amazing in my opinion and it would have been interesting to see how the Ho-229 would have panned out.
