The only thing I can think of that comes close is the Ardo Ar234 which hit the drawing board some time in early 1941. But even it only had a projected altitude of 36,000 feet when it was in the conceptual stage. Maybe someone else has a better idea of what this could possibly be. I’m thinking it is bad information myself.
Don't be so picky. The important thing is that this is a real crisis and if we don't pass Lease-Lend pronto there is no telling what could happen. What would you rather have - a law that allows us to help our British friends fight the Nazis and remain neutral or little British babies choking on poison gas? Write a note to your representative and let him or her know which you prefer.
