Re: Horten 229: What is real, what is exaggeration?

I understand the German designation system. I am simply saying that no complete, flying Ho 220/Go 229/8-229 or whatever you want to call it actually existed. Several of them were under construction by Gotha, but that's the best you can say. The "Ho 229" that very briefly flew and crashed was a Horten Ho IX V2 prototype--i.e. the second of the Ho IX aircraft. (The Ho IX V1 was a glider.)
