| John Barlow Denver, CO | Gents...time out! I think you are talking two different birds here. I think the "43B" was a "never-built" R/C attack missile version of the airfraft-not "manned". First launch vehicle was supposed to be a "Betty", but plans called for ramp-launching "43B's" from coastal locations. The manned "kamikaze" could only go so far, personnel-wise. 06/21/2005 @ 15:40 [ref: 10536] |
| John Barlow Denver, CO | Is this the surviving example that was first on display inside the Arts and Industries Building in April 1948?
I refer others to the article: "Mission of No Return", Magazine Unknown, Pages 40-52. I have photostat of article that has three-view of the jet-powered "22" version. E-mail me at jdenver4150@yahoo.com. 06/21/2005 @ 15:36 [ref: 10535] |
