If this had seen service it would have been revolutionary

Two BMW 003 turbojets mounted side-by-side in the fuselage rear
The wing was mounted low and swept back
The vertical fin was also sharply swept back
Two MK 103 30mm cannon and two MG 151/20 20mm cannon were located in the forward fuselage sides
Tricycle landing gear
Cockpit in nose

Sounds quite modern
 
No Service and Active Service are the same there is no difference. I dont think you understand what it means my friend. The YP-80 was on front line service at the end of WW2. It just did not see any action because it did not encounter any Luftwaffe aircraft. But it did see ACTIVE SERVICE!

That is like telling my buddy who flew the whole year in Iraq and was not shot at once and did not fire a single round from his gun that he did not see ACTIVE SERVICE. He did not see ACTION but he saw ACTIVE SERVICE.
 
They saw service over Italy and never encountered Luftwaffe but they flew sorties, so they saw active service.
 
Exactly plan_D, lanc does not seem to understand this concept. I bet though that if Lancasters had flown sorties but not dropped a single bomb he would define it differently.
 
Lanc I am sorry if it came accross that way to you. I appologize it was not meant to be that way. I happen to enjoy talking with you on this forum and I would not want to insult you in anyway.
 
Adler, some good info you have. But at times you are a bit harsh with Lanc, but we all are.

Lanc you just invite it some times, but it is all in good fun.

Smocky> that plane looks a lot like the Mig 15 or F-86. You really can tell where the world got its jet engineers and designs
 
No I dont think he worked on all the successful designs but it would not surprise me if there was some working together done.

Also you have to look at the designs and research that was taken. Most were taken by the US and the Russians but I am sure some was taken by the British too.
