36 reviewsA whole array of second generation jet and rocket propelled combat aircraft, most of which never took to the skies.
Anyone who has ever looked at drawings or models of these “paper planes” closely has to agree, most of them just don’t look like 1940’s aircraft, but more like combat aircraft from the late 50’s and early 60’s.
Only a few of the winning nations took advantage of the advances made by German aircraft designers in the fields of aerodynamics and jet propulsion, but they did. Many of the aircraft seen in the victorious nations’ air forces of the 50’s and 60’s were based on ideas that originated on the drawing boards of the German designers of the Third Reich.
Even the development of second generation American jets was directly influenced by German aerodynamics.
For example, the straight-winged North American FJ-1 Fury navy jet fighter, which was a jet powered development of the P-51 Mustang (opposite page) was updated with the swept wings of the Messerschmitt Me 262. (see page 11) This led to the highly successful F-86 Sabre of Korean War fame.
On the other side of the iron curtain, the Focke-Wulf Ta-183’s revolutionary shape served as the basis for the Soviet Union’s MiG-15 fighter, which fought opposite the F-86 Sabre over Korea.
Many revisionist historians may challenge this, but one just needs to look and compare the two aircraft to see the obvious family resemblance.
As an artist who loves aircraft, it is my intention to share my renderings of these fascinating German, Japanese, and Italian jet and bi-fuel rocket fighters with other aviation history enthusiasts who share a common interest in the aborted jet aircraft designs of the Axis Powers.
If I can inspire others to learn more about the subject I will have achieved my objective.
