A couple of 1939 intelligence failures. One wonders where Flight magazine got the 'gen' on these from?
Quote:
Two twin-engined types which were comparatively little
known were the Focke-Wulf 57 and the Henschel Hs 124,
both of which types are illustrated in the accompanying
drawings. The Focke-Wulf, like the majority of members
of its family, was long and slim and had a wing of high
aspect ratio. Two Junkers Jumo 210s were fitted.
The Henschel machine first appeared with two Junkers
Jumo 210 engines and had a rotating turret in the nose.
It will be seen that the later version was powered with
B.M.W. 132 Dc radials and had a redesigned nose in which
the turret was eliminated.

They didn't ever exist. EDIT - Errr, well, they did - must check refs first. Thanks Ryan, Michel!

From here: http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/ ... 01653.html?

NB opens a PDF.

Meanwhile they missed the first flight of the Focke Wulf Fw 190 on June 1st, 1939 from Bremen - a public airfield...

Always loved the the looks of the FW 190V1 with the prop spinner.

The paper project FW does bear the same "general layout" as the FW58

As far as where the magazine got their information, I suspect it was information that either the German government wanted out (like the He-100) or that the manufacturer wanted out (like the Boeing 787 - a diecast model of which you can buy for your child even though it has yet to fly!).

the germans & especially the japanese were quite adept at cranking out phoney baloney aircraft for propaganda purposes. the allies took the bait many times!! i've got the proof in my silhouette i.d. collection!!
