Lockheed Giganticus B-3000
The Giganticus was designed as a mega class bomber, however, the experiment had gone too far.
This behemoth's sheer size and mass, prohibited it's own construction. Mainly because there were no fabrication
plants large enough to even build a singular example.

Dornier Do 690 " Uberfalke" (New Drawing 2)
Dornier Uberfalke over Norway, wating to pounce on a bomber formation.
During what was clearly the "Jet-age", Dornier pushed yet another prop driven fighter design.
This time, with an emphasis on handling, firepower and good all-round vision.
A compound-turbo augmented Daimler-Hirsch engine was adopted, providing a boost up to 4.100 hp.,
and this allowed for a top speed of 475 mph.
The 690 would prove to be a formidable opponent against next generation of enemy jet fighters.

Mills & Sperry "Bravador"
Blohm & Voss BV-450-K
Blohm & Voss BV 450 K, of the Kriegsmarine Luftdienst, (Naval Air Force) Newfoundland. Powered by a Benz turboprop engine with contra rotating propellers. Designed as a naval dive-bomber, this type was a complete and utter #$@*-UP. Dubbed with the unflattering name of "Scheissekasten" (Shitbox) by it's surviving pilots.
