In my opinion the Blitz was the coolest and most advanced aircraft of the war.
@leewilliamson3424
I know what this plane was as soon as I saw the cockpit it's a The "Blitz" aircraft from World War II Germany was the Arado Ar 234, a jet-powered bomber often referred to as the "Blitz" (meaning lightning in German) due to its high speed and ability to quickly strike targets; it was considered the world's first operational jet bomber. Key points about the Arado Ar 234 Blitz: Design: Manufactured by Arado Flugzeugwerke, it was designed as a fast reconnaissance aircraft but later adapted into a bomber. Features: Twin jet engines, high speed, and the ability to quickly deliver bombs. Impact: Although deployed late in the war, the Ar 234 surprised Allied forces with its speed and agility, making it difficult to intercept.

The 4 engine AR 234 version looks even cooler. Just think, the 4 engine B58 flew just 11 years later.

Ce modèle est le seul avion à être passé sur les plages du débarquement pour faire des photos Le 7 juin 1944 a très haute altitude
@charlesnelson4042
Outside of the engines were rocket assist to help with the takeoff. The fabric package is a parachute as after reaching a specific altitude they were released and reused.

Blitz and Meth great combo !
@shellybastion9974

@Thegreat-v5w
I really like the clear part but imagine being like 18,000 feet in the air and looking down!
@VortexNexusGaming
I think its so ironic that I was looking on Ancestry yesterday and one of my Opa's uncles was at the Battle Of The Bulge fighting for the Nazis, and I looked on my Oma's side and her Uncle was fighting there for the US. Then i looked at what companies they were in and actually got shooting at each other. This world has weird ways
@dannyb.4034
Wow they were so advanced
@Something_in_the_Forest
Is that why my Passat doesn't run?
@dubyacwh7978
This one also has the Rockets used for takeoff, otherwise known as RATO rockets
@edwardcalvet
That one is equipped with RATO, The pods on either side of the engines. Rocket Assist Take Off
@stevesick1
Notice rocket pods on the ends to give it a faster climb rate when taking offf
@Burninhellscrootoob
America brought as many arado blitz jet bombers as they could home to test.... unfortunately,about a dozen were then crushed and buried in an Air Force base near a culvert. About 40 years ago, someone remembered,and there was talk of a recovery effort, but i never heard anything more ...i think it was an east coast base,if anybody is interested
@eduardbuchwald1354
Even today they don't know how Arado made the plastic glas so round and perfect.
@mpetry912
there is a Horten flying wing in the collection as well.
@craigstorer6571
You just reminded me of the song "The Ballroom Blitz". Lol 😂
@nickatkinson5692
Looks good, but let down by the jumo engines often flaming out, and poor design as the pilot did not have a rear view, hence the periscope above the cockpit.
