ARUP

Sopwith 'Tripehound' and DeHaviland DH-2 'Pusher'.

The Triplane 'looked like a flight of stairs that has taken flight' and was the best fighter of WWI, IMHO. The DH-2 helped end the Fokker Menace. Plus- it's 'different'!

The Focke Wulf 190Dora and the Focke Wulf 190Anton. I know their based on the same frame with major changes and different engines but technically, thery're two different planes with two different flying styles(my opinion only) And then theirs the Alied P47D thunderbolt.. Next best.

I think the purpose of this thread has been defeated.

 Kahloq - That Horten sure is a fantastic piece of kit - I read that it has some stealth characteristics! I am planning a build for twin EDF's and elevons.

In fact it did to some degree. There was a history channel special about 6 months ago where these ppl built a full size Horton 229 from wood and simulated the engines and electronics with metal fabric that gives off the same basic amount of radar signature(so they said).
What they found out was....that instead of Britain having a 30 min warning of an incomming bomb raid, that a squadron of Ho 229's would not show up on radar till they were well more then half away across the channel. Thus, they would have had a 2-4 minute warning maximum. This is by 1945 radar equipment in use by the UK.
With only 2-4 mins, no alert could be given fast enough for any interceptor to take off AND gain altitude to even attempt to shoot the ho-229's down.
Additionally, they judged the plane aerodynamics to provide a fast enough speed to outrun anything the Allies had including the Gloster Meteor twin jet.
So...they could have bombed England without having to deal with fighters on the way in. That of course doesnt mean they wouldnt have had to deal with flak or fighters on the way out, but if they could outrun the fighters...it wouldnt have mattered that much.

As far as political standpoint and atrocities commited, the world is very fortunate that germany made some bad mistakes(mostly by Goering and also obviously by Hitler).
On the other hand, the technological advances the world would have seen had Germany survived another 3-4 years would have put us NOW so much further head then you could imagine. Stealth fighters would have started showing up probably in the late 50's, not the middle 80's etc.
Of course, had germany not been defeated when it was, they may have gotten the atom bomb and blown away England.

This might interest you. Its a deluxe short kit including fiberglass center section(if you want that) or can do a full wood kit.

Thanks for the history-  really interesting! I think I saw the show on History Television a while back - If I recall there is a Horton being restored - the first crashed.

I think the test pilot's name was Ziller or something along the lines of that...
