Re: ME321 question
From Geoffrey:
For some nostalgia, William Green in Warplanes of the Third Reich has the design requests made around 17 or 18 October 1940, with a deadline of 1 November, approval to go ahead to build 100 of each type given on 6 November.
Junkers first flight April 1941, bad result, project officially abandoned in May.
Me321 first flight February 1941, production at Leipheim and Obertraubling with 175 reported built July 1941 to April 1942.
Other references do not fundamentally disagree with the dates.
