I'm starting a new thread so that it doesn't hijack @airman's Do-19 evolution thread. Is the following feasible, plausible and reasonable? In this timeline the Do 19 and Ju 89 weren't cancelled on 29th April 1937. The Do 19 V3 and Ju 89 V3 prototypes were completed. 12 Do 19A-0 and as Ju 89A-0...

Reading another thread on the Natter led me to think that this may be an interesting topic of discussion. German pressure suits designed during WWII for high altitude aircraft. Draeger was a leading manufacturer of pressure suits, beginning with underwater pressure suits for divers. Here are a...

The development of the Hs 293 is covered, too, in "Die Geschichte der Henschel-Flugzeugwerke AG 1933 - 45" by Horst Materna. A series of enlarged versions of the Hs 293A was the Hs 293C, for which different guiding systems were proposed. The C-4 was a pre-version of the later Hs 294 glide...

From "Der Flieger", August 1962, maybe interesting for one or two, as one-offs and projects are mentioned, too.

I have a very poor microfilm blueprint scan of the Blohm und Voss P.173.02 long range bomber. From what I can make out it is a six engined bomber that shares the wings and tail of the BV 238 seaplane. Does anyone have any good drawings or information on this project? I'll try to make as clean...

I have seen that there is some info about steam powered Me-264. But is there info about other projects like Ta-400? There should be a wind tunnel model ... http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/me264.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_264 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_400...
