I knew it was a Curtiss design, it just screamed "Curtiss!", but I had to look it up; Model Curtiss No. 2."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.

Your question Stitch, amazing how many different aircraft Curtis has made for the Navy.Originally posted by Stitch View PostComment

This one should be fairly easy; name the aircraft and it's claim to fame:

Horten 229 first all jet flying wing?Craig JohnsonComment

Correct! Told you it would be easy . . . . yes, first all-jet flying wing, 3-1/2 years before the all-jet Northrop XB-49 flew. Only surviving example is at the Smithsonian's Paul E. Garber Restoration Facility awaiting restoration. Original plans called for production variants to have an armament consisting of two forward-firing Mk 108 30mm cannons in the wing roots.Originally posted by Battleship IOWA View Post

Incindiery bomb? Wrapping it in hemp would make sense, as it would burn more readily. Not sure about the process, but I assume it would involve two chemicals or substances that would ignite when they come in contact (like when they get dropped out of an airplane and hit the ground).Originally posted by Battleship IOWA View Post"There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.
