The big problem was that they just didn't have the materials to manage
the heat and stress they would have encountered, and didn't have
anywhere near the time or resources to develop them.

I'm sorry but I don't see the similarity that the wooden mock-up has
to the Sanger bomber. Can someone explain what I'm supposed to be
looking at?

It appears to me to be a 20 foot section of some form of aircraft with
a cockpit near the nose; however, the Sanger nose was supposed to be
more conical from the drawings I have. Furthermore, the dimesions of
the mock-up don't seem to match a 100 ton bomber- looks too small.

Could this just be a wooden mock-up of another jet paper project?

You have to scroll down to get a look at the "bomber".

Nothing in the drawings shows an aircraft capable of supersonic
flight. The tail assemblies would have been a major problem (no all
moving horizontal "stabilators").

Other than the mystery machine, which from the quality of the photo
could be almost anything, this is all pretty much old news. In fact, saw
the published captured papers and USArmy Intel. translations something
like 30 years ago. The Seattle Public Library used to have a copy (but
the collection was being nibbled to death by theft and defacements)
