Many thanx.
I´m a very great Fan of Military-Planes (but not a Fan of War or Warfare!!) and one of my hobby´s is Military-History.
I have three (very massive
) books about Planes (also with helicopters and civil designs from all over the world) from 1903 - 2000/2006/2012.
I was already fascinated from planes and the APOLLO-Project, as I was a little boy (born 1966 - so the first live-pictures from the moon are one of my oldest - and most intensive - memories...).

Thank you.
I´ve seen a documentation in 2012 where Grumman had build a 1:1-Model of the HORTEN H IX / GOTHA GO-229 (but in all probability: HORTEN HO-229) for Radar-Tests. They found out, that the Allies have had only a two-minute-radarwarning if this plane approaching in low-level-flight.
I want to build the HO-229 later, plus the HEINKEL HE-162 and the worldwide first commissioned Jetfighter, the MESSERSCHMITT ME-262.
After that maybe I build the Jetbombers ARADO AR-234 and JUNKERS JU-287 (but certainly not this year
).
An interestig aspect of the HS-132 is, that the Pilot should fly this Plane lying at the bulge, so this Plane could fly 12g-curves, without the Pilot lose consciousness.
in the year 1946 Edgar P. Jacobs used this concept for the Tigershark-Fighters in his comic: "The secret of the Swordfish" Volume I - III (published 1950 - 1953).
