Re: Go 229 publication

Gruppe,

This is a nice little publication (in German) on the Horten H IX and Ho 229. It certainly doesn't cover the complete story, but it gives some new information, focussing on the role the SS played in the development and planned (forced) production of the aircraft.
It also gives the complete eye-witness report of the H IX V2 crash.
There are some new photos (to me) of the H IX V1 (glider) after a nose gear collaps. Unfortunately the overall photoquality isn't up to standard.

It is a nice addition to "Nurflügel" (by Horten/Selinger) and "Horten 229, Spirit of Thuringia" (by Andrei Shepelev).

Nurflügel Forever!
