The EMW A6 does bear a strong
resemblence to the X-15 though in basic configuration...

In the same way that most every airplane resembles all other airplanes.

What dose not ring true about the drawing is that the fuze is
beautifully "area-ruled". That is, the fuze is made smaller where the wings
and tail attach in an attempt to keep the total area constant. I was under
the impression that the "area rule" came from postwar research. Am I wrong?
