amazing pilot skills for the 50's... no flight computers etc... just raw "seat of the pants" skills!

I heard that this aircraft was the most useless plane in the air force ( also saw it in a book named " worst airplanes of all time".

it does have no purpose

France "borrowed" German engineers as well, who reluctantly helped to develop the Mirage III's engine (SNECMA Atar 9). But they didn't invent delta wings.

Its true german/nazi engineers contributed to American aerospace but not because we "stole" them. That's just laughable. 1. Allies won the war. 2. Germany wasn't even allowed to do anything after Geneva. Did we steal Einstein too? hahaha.

No doubt the Germans had some smart engineers. So did the Americans, but we had a war to win so our focus was on production techniques and new designs of known, producable (sp?) technology. Winning the war was more important than wasting effort on designs that wasted resources and couldn't be maintained in the field. I'd say it worked.

And you bet the Germans came to work for us. The only other option was the Russians and they HATED Germans !

BTW Von Braun was a genius !

Operation Paperclip comes to mind where Nazi scientists were given priority to come to the U.S. after the war. The German rocket scientists cut a deal with the U.S. because they didn't want to get captured by the Russians. Many rocket parts were captured/stolen(?) along with much technical information..that's history and fact.
