Aircraft you would like to see built
Came across a website listing all 584 military aircraft designed, prototyped or built from '39 to '45. I saw a few designs for the first time. Seems like it might be nice to see more of the "lesser" done.

WW2 Aircraft (1939-1945)
Just a few I thought would make really nice subjects:
What about you??

My preference is for things that at least made it to the flying prototype stage. I think a supervisor at Blohm and Voss must have told the draftsmen to stay busy given the number of unconventional designs that the cranked out. There are a lot of designs from places like France, Poland and Romania that we don't hear much of because they got over run early in the war or they served in theaters where they didn't run into main parts of Western forces. There are also a lot of interesting planes that only served at the beginning of the war because they were already at the end of their service life and were quickly replaced by other designs and never really got noticed by the propaganda machine. There were some really neat designs like the Grumman XF5 that got developmentally leapfrogged or those planes that had promise but their engines never really lived up to manufacturer's promises. Personally, I would like to see a few more Japanese twin engined bombers flying around.
