"The "Bat" looks a lot like a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, and not without reason. The B-2 was a direct descendant of the Bat fighter, which was captured and studied by America at the end of the war. With a top speed of 600 miles an hour, two 30 mm cannons and a 1,100 bomb load, this futuristic fighter-bomber could have wreaked havoc on England had it been put into production. Plus (as we've recently discovered), it truly was built for radar stealth. The all-wood and carbon-glue construction reduced radar detection by 37 percent; with this kind of stealth and speed, Hortens could have annihilated scores of British fighters before they ever made it off the runway." imgix.ranker.com/user_node_img/50048/1000956156/original/horten-ho-229-photo-u1?w=650&q=60&fm=jpg&fit=crop&crop=faces Main page

Yeah, this was always one of the coolest planes of WW2. I think I prefer the P67 Moonbat, but that's a tough call. |
