disappeared altogether between 1930 and 1945, then reappeared briefly
on the B-36. The jet era again forced them into obscurity and onto
Dick's drawing board.

In WW2 there were several pusher fighters that never made it past the
drawing board or prototype stage. Blohm und Voss P.207/2 ,Dornier
P.247/6 Borovkov-Florov "D", Curtis P-55 Ascender, Kyushu J7W1
Shinden. My favorite (and probably the most whimsical) was the
Daimler-Benz Jaeger. Don't know if it's a pusher or not.

Don't know of any homebuilt pushers from that era.


There was at least one pusher fighter that made past prototype stage.
The SAAB J21 was a twin boom tricycle gear single engine pusher. It
was later modified into a jet with some success.
