[Capt. Vick]

Horton 9 or Horton 229 or Gotha 229?

 

[T Bolt]

That didn't last long

 

[GrauGeist]

wow...well done!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

So............which one is it?

 

[GrauGeist]

They are all the same one, Aaron.

In a nutshell, Horton's 9th design (IX) was designated the Ho229 by the RLM and then got Gotha involved for production, Go229.
