    That's a tough one Texson ! The closest I got so far is the BRISTOL-BURNELLI OA-1 but it is not the plane. I think Bellanca had something like that too but it was not built.

    First, General Patton, you have to identify the current plane in Post 591. I appreciate eagerness, but that is the rule: you id first, you get to post. Now back in line:D

    Basically! In reality it is the Horten Ho IX and this specific model was supossed to be the first production model. But good try TA152, I know it does look like the Gotha Go 229 (but thats because it is the same plane haha)

    Some dispute has arisen over whether the 229 should be classified as the Go 229 or Ho 229. Since Gothar was supposed to build 229 and didn't really design it.

    Pretty close then you think TA152 LOL. The V3 prototype was sent to Northrup LOL.

    During the final stages of the war, the US military initiated Operation Paperclip which was an effort by the various intelligence agencies to capture advanced German weapons research, and to deny that research to advancing Soviet troops. A Horten glider and the Ho 229 V3, which was undergoing final assembly, were secured and sent to Northrop Corporation in the United States for evaluation. Northrop was chosen because of their experience with flying wings—inspired by the Horten brothers' pre-war record-setting glider. Jack Northrop had been building flying wings since the N-1M in 1939.

    You are doomed!

    This one is yours for a mere $40,000. And, yes it is a WW 2 aircraft!
