Heinkel He 343 jet bomber

I did see a book on Hienkel many years ago that had a photo of the he 343.In it they said it was the only now en photo of it.

I don't, all I am saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if Himmler was able to build two He-343s for his own testing. This guy was pretty powerful! Also he may have the plans and info copied. Surely you don't expect me to believe that all the information would be kept in one place when there is large scale bombing going on! I just find it startling that is all how the Ilyushin Il-22 and the Martin Baker Canberra are almost identical in external shape while other aircraft are so different.

Well ya better start believing it pal. The Il-22 connection is evident, but not the Canberra. BTW it was English Electric that first built the aircraft, not Martin Baker. The Canberra program started in 1944 and the initial contract signed in 1945.

Himmiler had more important things to worry about.

Ok - WHO from the US "completed" this aircraft???? Again the picture was photo shopped. I think the original photo showed a P-59 taking off. Healz, you have a great imagination.
