I requested a 3-way drawing from SAAB on the A.36 nuclear bomber and
you know what they sent me? Something that looks alot like a Draken.
The copy is dated 12 Juni 1956 and is labeled PROJEKT 135-C Fpl.36
Reg.No. FAA-99.080.
Urban, I am assuming that they sent me a 3-way copy of the original
#1376 and not the requested #1377 with dorsal air intake and refined
delta. Am I correct?
Also, was the #1377 proposal supposed to be the final design for the
A.36?

p.s. SAAB is a big disappointment. They did not bother to even furnish
any history or other details with the 3-way. I asked them about the
proposed nuclear bomb and the dimensions of the proposed bomb bay on
the A.36 but they refused to comment. They wouldn't even confirm
Bofors as the proposed manufacturer of the weapon.




Gee. I wonder why? (sheesh)
