Not a design as such, but relevant to many Horten designs.
In 1945 Reimar Horten was returned to Germany for a while, where he worked for the British. Smithsonian curator Russell E. Lee has been deeply involved in their Horten collection and recently published Only the Wing: Reimar Horten's Epic Quest to Stabilize and Control the All-Wing Aircraft. He records (p.144) that Horten obtained his Ph.D from Göttingen University at the end of 1946.
Has his Ph.D thesis ever been made public?
Horten once claimed that it addressed proverse yaw (swinging into a turn) and I'd like to get to the truth of that.
