One or two "Schmidt röhre"?

Two. Incidentally, the report refers to the designs throughout as P 79. There are 17 designs in total, though there must have been a few more since one or two have an 'a', 'b' or 'c' after the number. So P 79/10c for example. There isn't a P 79/51 - that seems to have just been a mistake. What's usually given as P 1079/51 is actually just P 79/17, the last one.

Messerschmitt P 1079/1. Not sure what's going on with the connected rods in its spine.

The upper tubes seem to be the elevator control and the lower ones the rudder control.

Makes sense. Fairly unusual to see that level of detail on this sort of drawing!

A more P.1079 variants I have.

I thought it was some sort of wing twisting system when I first saw it.

What strikes me most is the apparently detachable cabin and the telescope gunsight. Is this identified? The bomb I cannot recognize due to its ellipsoid shape and tail (no tail ring?), somewhere in the 500 kg range?
