Kandahar Airbase, Afghanistan - 9 Feb 2010

Horton Ho 229 V3, captured and shipped back to the States. This is the one and only time it was assembled. When captured in Germany it was incomplete, the fuselage/centre section was many miles away from the outer wing panels when discovered by US troops. The Ho 229 was the only jet powered flying wing that actually flew during the war.

The second prototype, V2, was destroyed and the pilot killed on its second powered flight. This is the third prototype and was taken to America under Operation Paperclip. It was the world's first stealth aircraft, although its stealth capabilities were only discovered after computer modelling in the 21st century. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich

The article by Richard Johnson on "The Armory Life" explores the history and significance of the Martin PBM Mariner, a versatile twin-engine flying boat used by the U.S. Navy in World War II and the Korean War. Known for its role in anti-submarine patrols and transporting supplies, the PBM Mariner could carry up to twelve 50-caliber machine guns and substantial bomb loads, significantly contributing to naval warfare. Johnson recounts the harrowing experiences of flight engineers like Herbert “Johnny” Johnson and highlights the aircraft's unique capabilities, such as being able to take off and land on water and utilize Jet-Assisted Take-Off (JATO) canisters. The article also notes the PBM's use in Dumbo missions, rescuing stranded pilots, and its deployment by various Allied countries, emphasizing its pivotal contributions to military operations over decades.

In the event of an emergency during an Air Refueling, I think proximity might be a great motivator and it’s why I think not building a boom pod in the KC-46 was a mistake.

I don’t have an issue with the use of camera’s, on the contrary, I think it’s a good idea for automation, but it should have been in addition to a boom pod, not in replacement of. I wonder how the KC-767 was configured.
