Country: | no one, i'd narrowed it down to the possibility that they were either privateers or B-32s, i was just saying that out of the two i'd narrowed it down to i didn't think it was the B-32................

Country:  | There were many secret planes. Many of them were innovative in the fact that they were years ahead of there time and many led to aircraft that are now in service with modern airforces. One project that stands out for me is Junkers aircraft that never made it past the drawing board. It was to be powered by 2 Daimler Benz DB007 turbojets and looks just like the A-10 Thunderbolt in service today with the USAF. This aircraft was found in a book called Luftwaffe Secret Projects by Dieter Herwig and Heinz Rode. It is a great book and covers many types of X-planes, most of which never made it past drawing board. Imagine if they had. |

Country: | Another interesting design was the Lippisch Dm-1 which never made a first flight but was interesting none of the less. It kind of looks like some Sci-Fi Ferangi Start Trek ship. Here is a picture of it. I wonder how it would have flown at all. | |

Country: | I believe you are talking of the Junkers Ju-287, a weird looking plane to say the least.

Comments:
First flown in January 1945, the Ho 229 was the innovative design of Walter and Reimar Horten, both former Luftwaffe officers. The test programme showed the 229 to have outstanding speed and handling characteristics but developement was halted when US troops overran the research facility. Some dispute has arisen over whether the 229 should be classified as the Go 229 or Ho 229. Since Gothar was supposed to build 229 and didn't really design it, I'm arbitrarily going with the Ho 229 designation in honor of the designers. | |
