"Only the Wing: Reimar Horten's Epic Quest..."

I've been interested in the Horten (and all other flying wings) for a long while. This upcoming book about the Horten wings looks as if it may be very interesting.

From the publisher:

"In the late 1920s, Reimar Horton started experimenting with flying models equipped with fuselages, stabilizers, rudders, and elevators, but his life's work involved systematically removing these components from the models until he could achieve flight with only the wing. Not only were the pure wings more difficult to design with the stability and control needed to fly, they were harder to place in practical roles not already filled by conventional aircraft operating for less support and operational costs. Always seeking to increase performance and efficiency, Reimar adopted a multi-disciplinary approach after flying his first piloted wing in 1933, eventually breaking new ground in cockpit design and construction materials.

No, the Nazis did not invent stealth aircraft. Here’s the real story

Despite what you may have seen on the internet, the Nazis did not invent stealth aircraft. But let’s talk about why this myth has become so prevalent in recent years.

A big part of it comes from the lackluster reporting of many mainstream news and history outlets eager to capitalize on clickbaity titles about Nazi superweapons over the years. These stories often paint World War II Germany as a terrifying technological juggernaut that was always just on the verge of a new breakthrough that would turn the tide of the war.

There’s no denying that scientists and engineers working under the banner of Hitler’s NAZI party were often at the forefront of their respective fields. In World War II, Germany deployed the world’s first operational cruise missiles in the V-1, and the first operational ballistic missile in the V-2. They also fielded the world’s first jet fighter, the
