Re: Bitzer project
I got the aircraft designations correct, but the names transposed. My source? the now defunct Jets Magazine (March/April 2016 issue) X-Plane feature. They have a small article on each X-Plane and they definitely have 'Douglas D-558-1 Skyrocket' and 'Douglas D-558-2 Skystreak'. Then again, they had the Stiletto as 'X-2' but that didn't get passed me. I should have double checked the others.Airspeed wrote: ↑14 Oct 2020, 01:462 and 5 reversed in your post, Kevin, so I'll give you 5/7Kevin Farnell wrote: ↑13 Oct 2020, 15:291. Bell X-1A

Re: Bitzer project
Kevin,
"It's so hard to get good help these days!"
I can't believe the number of edits needed in my Bomber Command section on my site; confidently presented "facts" are often deleted/altered because I find two or three contradictory entries that shatter my trust in the first entry.
Anyway, today we only have one to think about, and a smooth looking character it is!
It looks a lot like something that it's not.
