[QUOTE="Apophenia, post: 33281, member: 728"] There is a mention of the "Me-115" in FM 30-35 "Military Intelligence - Identification of German Aircraft - March 11, 1942", from the US War Department. No images or details other than an armament of two cannon and two mgs, 400 mph top speed, and one 2000 hp DB605. The last item makes me wonder if "Me-115" was an assumed new designation for the upcoming Bf-109G? http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/FM/PDFs/FM30-35.PDF Presumably the engine on the Flight "Me-115" is based on descriptions of the DB604 but that X-24 engine is bigger and more powerful than the 2000 hp listed in FM 30-35. Perhaps at the time there was confusion between the DB604 and DB605? http://www.airventure.de/hkeilpics/db604.jpg BTW, FM 30-35 does list the Heinkel He-115 as well. [/QUOTE]
