No it said the engine was made more efficient. They run these things on the ground many times before they put it in the plane.

(iii) above means that the aircraft proceded beyond the wind-tunnel and was actually constructed.

Sadly no, it means that they had a plan to build the aircraft, much like the Me-264 mass production plan. It never happened but they had the plant to do it.

The Freedom of Information Act in the United States exists so that investigators may discover "missing" areas of documentation "accidentally overlooked" by US agencies, which in this case include the last four months of P-13b trials before the capitulation.

I would also like to point out that after January 1945 there were few living Germans in Poland.
Also anything can go the speed of sound, you just have to apply the proper amount of force. The area rule resulting in the coke bottle shape is not a law but a development and does not have to be used for optimal flight.
