German Haunebu I, II & III Flying Saucers.
Fact? Or fiction? Conspiracy theories abound about the Third Reich's alleged circular aircraft development programme. That Nazi Germany had considered strange flying objects is not in doubt. Look at Joseph Epp's disc helicopter design of 1941, and the Rudolph Schriever Flugkreisel (flying gyro) 1944.
In the United States, developments with circular aircraft saw the Vought V-173 "Flying Pancake" of 1942 and XF5U of 1943. The so-called "Foo Fighters" perhaps? In the Cold War, Avro Canada designed the Flying Manta in 1952, codename "Project Y", and the VZ-9 Avrocar, "Project Silver Bug" in 1959. Did German engineers assist on these designs?
We'll likely never know. But the Takom Haunebu flying saucers should inspire the imagination!
