    I have the Putnum(?) book on the German "R" plans, let me know if there is something you need from there. Send me a PM or whatever in case I don't look back at this thread.
    “The entrance to the cockpit of this aircraft is most difficult. It should have been made impossible.” — Flight Journal magazine, April 2000, regards the XF10F-1, Grumman's first attempt at a swing wing fighter.
