I could be wrong (and I'm sure that if I am, someone else can set things straight), but I was under the impression that they did develop mid-air...
Hmmm. I hate answers that refer to the blind leading the blind, lol.:D Even though that seems more and more to be what the Nazi's were to...
I'll get a copy of this soon, and thanks for the info! Is this info in "The U-boat", or another work? Thanks. Ah. Ok then, they did do a...
Wow, lots of good posts and information here all of a sudden (after the thread sat for so long, I was thinking it was a total flop), so I have to...
Hmmm. The only reason that the Germans didn't finish construction of the XVIII's, wasn't that they didn't work, but that the XXI's worked better....
