I can't speak for the design or the Luftwaffe guys, but that image has been mirrored.

I wish this bad boy had flown well enough to survive the prototype stage. Those russians were pretty crazy back in the day.

1930s aircraft designs are a helluva drug. That's all you need to know.

Now there are some weird planes out there, but then you have Blohm & Voss. These guys should've stuck with ships.

Stalin had some novel idea on plane development. He basically rounded up all the engineers with plane experience, took them to a secluded camp and locked the door. They were told they were allowed to leave only if they succeeded in beating Luftwaffe, and anyone slacking or failing would be shot, but their families would be shot as a first warning. This was followed up. I think the general work atmosphere in that camp could indeed have driven a few guys crazy.

Breguet, with 2 bridges, 1952.
