Douglas DC5, Martin 202, Lockheed 880/990, every Curtiss fighter after
the P40, all the flying automobiles, XP77, XP85, Brabazon, Saro
Princess, sheesh - there's a thousand of them! Barling B9, so slow
it's cruise speed was its top speed and both were just above liftoff
speed. Find a copy of 'Back to The Drawing Board' by Bill Gunston. Oh,
yeah, Me210, unstable around all three axes, for starters. That cost
the LW a bundle of aircraft when they needed every one they could get.
Me 163 - VFR only, 60 mile radius, about 8 minutes powered time . . .
hairy but fun to fly, more danger to its crews as a weapon. For darn
sure killed more German pilots than Allied airmen. This could go on
for pages more but you get the point - they're out there, mostly as
scrap thank God. A few left in museums or on sticks.
