    The most secret weapon of the Luftwaffe

    I share with you a lot of pictures, some of them previously unreleased, rare and never before seen by me, referring to one of the secret weapons of the Luftwaffe.

    Redesigning a heavy bomber wing

    Historically the He177 had serious problems with its engines and they waited until August 1943 to order a four nacelle version, which took until December 1943 to enter testing. If ordered on January 1st 1941 how long would it have taken to redesign and build a 4 nacelle He177 for testing? And...

    Surely not?

    From a caption in America's Hundred Thousand of a picture of the XP-40: You would think that a decision like that would be based on sound engineering reasons. The Tornado prototype, for example, had its radiator under the fuselage like the Hurrican before it. But it was found to not work...

    Who would get to 40,000 feet first?

    I would look up climb rates on Wiki but we know how inaccurate Wiki can be. So it's a race to 40,000 feet. The only rule is the plane has to be war time production (no jets), it takes off, hits the throttle and climbs, full power.
