A curious German weapon

[pampa14]

I share with you photos of one of the most curious designs of the Luftwaffe during World War II. I'm talking about Junkers Ju-287 and its unusual design. If it had entered into service and built in quantity would have changed the course of the war? What do you think? Visit the link below, you will find it a lot of photos and a full report on this almost unknown aircraft. I hope you enjoy.

Germans have some really futuristic weapons that they could not bring in huge nos at the end of the war.

Do you know about the Horten ho stealth bomber.

Ho-229 derived from H2 glider designed by Horten brothers. Marvelous piece of engineering. Enjoy its recreation by Northrop-Grumman.
