Merch!
Ugly or Beautiful? Loser or Secret Weapon Winner? I've described this aircraft to my students as "acting like a helicopter, before there were helicopters". Let's take a close look at the contradictions and victories of this oh so unique British Bird. Enjoy!
MERCH!
Whether it was the Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird"), this bird was revolutionary...and was almost TOO ahead of its time. We start with a quick and dirty look at the history and operation of jet turbines and then roll into the prototypes, production and operational history of this Storm Bird!

McDonnell tries its best at making a fighter worthy of the Dark Knight. The Bat or Moonbat looked crazy cool, but had a nasty habit of bursting into flames. No word if The Joker was involved. It's Part V in the "Doomed Fledglings" Series!
It's a Lightning Storm with Lockheed trying to improve on its P-38 with the XP-49 and the XP-58 Chain Lightning. It's Part IV in the "Doomed Fledglings" Series!
Northrop takes a crack at this "flying wing fighter" as they design, build and test the Black Bullet. It's Part III in the "Doomed Fledglings" Series!
