catch 81 Posted March 22, 2010 Now Mahlo if I can just take your mind off the Albatros for one minute, read up about Hugo Junkers. Now he was innovative ! Junkers 1915 all metal cantilever monoplane. What might have been had he been able to sell himself like that artful dodger Fokker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Catch: Now Mahlo if I can just take your mind off the Albatros for one minute... Wow - never seen that one! Thanks for sharing, Catch. Do you have data about it (speed etc.)? Yeah, like in every army, there are often people how manage to sell their planes better than other guys, who may have the better planes. The early Bf 109 had a competitor, a Heinkel fighter design, which was the better pure fighter in Udet's oppinion. But the Luftwaffe took the other, cause it was more able to do multi-purpose stuff. Then, there were also wrong decisions about aircraft like the Me 262 jet fighter. A perfect bomber interceptor was used as a short range bomber - one of those decisions of the GroeFaZ.* (* Groesster Feldherr aller Zeiten = greatest field marshall of all times) Edited March 22, 2010 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
