I'm sorry but I don't see the similarity that the wooden mock-up has to the Sanger bomber. Can someone explain what I'm supposed to be looking at? It appears to me to be a 20 foot section of some form of aircraft with a cockpit near the nose; however, the Sanger nose was supposed to be more conical from the drawings I have. Furthermore, the dimesions of the mock-up don't seem to match a 100 ton bomber- looks too small. Could this just be a wooden mock-up of another jet paper project? Kenneth Williams |

You have to scroll down to get a look at the "bomber".

Kenneth Williams Nothing in the drawings shows an aircraft capable of supersonic flight. The tail assemblies would have been a major problem (no all moving horizontal "stabilators"). Al Minyard |

In fact, saw the published captured papers and USArmy Intel. translations something like 30 years ago. The Seattle Public Library used to have a copy (but the collection was being nibbled to death by theft and defacements) |
