i love the era of aircraft manufacturing where countries had access to Unlimited Money for their defense programs so they could do insane shit like the Catalina among other things like the XP-79B and XP-82

I don't know why but i just find early flying wing designs to look so out of place in the 1940s haha



Ho 229 (left), YB 49 (right)

That Ho 229 pic is from war thunder though lol, I can't find an actual image of it considering it was a prototype design that never flew iirc.

LMFAO what the fuck lol

I looked this thing up and apparently the Americans designed and MANUFACTURED a similar plane, the XFSU. Needless to say it was a failure and apparently the thing could only manage a "few hops off the ground" hahahahaha
