  1. Lots of flying wing gliders in the 1930s. The Hortens had experience with prewar gliders. That's where they got the idea.

  2.  @alfnoakes392  Agreed. And the Westland Hill Pterodactyl which served in the RAF in the 1930s.

  3. No point in evading radar. The USA (quite rightly) didn't have an air-defence radar system in place. Much easier to bomb Washington or New York with a captured Liberator. Paint it with black crosses. Rip out unnecessary weight. Fit extra fuel tanks. But how much damage could 4000 lbs of bombs actually achieve? Want to nuke NYC? Use a U-boat.

  4.  @haditjandradjaja8403  The US had no radar protection system in 1945. Stealth technology would've been useless.
