The most secret weapon of the Luftwaffe

[pampa14]

I share with you a lot of pictures, some of them previously unreleased, rare and never before seen by me, referring to one of the secret weapons of the Luftwaffe. We are talking about the Horten flying wing. Perhaps, the aircraft of the Second World War the most ahead of its time than any other, went into production too late to be put into service. Do you think if he had gone into production would have changed the course of the war and history? Visit the link below and give us your opinion about it.

Good link, there seemed to be a craze for flying wing designs in the 30s and 40s!...

Funky design but wouldn't have changed jack $hit as far as the tide of war was concerned IMO.

The Germans were out of fuel, pilots, space and time and outnumbered by enemies with more than enough of all of these-people seem to forget the Allies assorted 'secret weapons' that worked and were used to great effect-see proximity fuses, for example.

Looks damned 'Stealthy' I must say chaps!

[Larboard]

Would have probably been reported as a UFO if they'd seen it flying ;-)

I believe the yanks nicked them all.

Great Pic's. You know Jack Northrop had to be telling people"I told you so" When those were brought home to the US!
