| Johnny Fireball, 29.08.2008 Editorial note:
The first prototype was intended to evaluate the concept, and was cobbled together from the fuselage of a Heinkel He 177, the tail of a Junkers Ju 388, main undercarriage from a Junkers Ju 352, and nosewheels taken from crashed B-24 Liberators. | | Matt Sipple, 08.07.2008 I thought it was destroyed by the SAS? | | Mauricio Quiroz, afreedomson(@)hotmail.com, 03.07.2008 Does this one made it to the sky?
