Re: Hampden Bomber an German Design?
Lachmann was Chief Designer at Handley Page at the time of the Hampden's conception. The specification was issued in 1932: in 1935 Lachmann gave up this job to specialise in aerodynamic research, but there's no doubt about his importance to the design.
However, this does not make it a German aircraft any more than the Ju88 was an American one, despite the participation of Americans in its initial design stages.
