.. but the most interesting aircraft mentioned in AE 9/10 2006, is
the Fo.122 of which "no three-view drawing is known to survive" .
Ideal prey for a determined hunt, or food for the "what-if" fans ...

I love these projects! I'll have to get copies of those latter numbers of Air Enthusiast, which I do not have.

Maybe some technical data for the Fo.129?

 

[Schneiderman]

Little published. The Fo129 appears to have been a re-engined (with Gypsy Queen 30 series) version of the Fo127
