Yes it existed. That picture you posted is not of it, but of a model created for radar testing.

Yes, I know.

But I have now posted photos of the original that actually flew.

I am having trouble with Photobucket. But there are lots of photos of the original that were German production and did fly.

The greatest weakness the plane had were the engines. When they upgraded to (don’t quote me, because I can’t remember, MERKAL engines) a better engine, the plane performed better than expected.

It did fly, it was operational, good thing we beat them when we did or Manhattan would have gotten its ass handed to it.

The real one is currently stored in pieces in an Army warehouse at the federal complex in Suitland, Maryland.
