Germany Has Two New Fighters

Facts

the Thought Secret

By the Air Correspondent

GERMANY has two new fighter planes with top speeds of 400 m.p.h. and 380 m.p.h.

The Nazis believed that they had kept the news of these machines secret, but here are details of their con- struction and striking power:

Focke-Wulf Fw. 198 is a single-seat attack neroplane. It echoes the design of a dead man, and it is a curious coincidence that the spirit of the late Anthony Fokker, the Dutchman who built Germany's best acroplanes in the last war, lives to influence German design in this war.

A nacelle encloses the pilot's ; sent and the engine behind. The airscrew pushes instead of pulling the machine through the air. Tailplane and rudders are carried on two tapering booms extending back from the wings,

No Shield

The pilol, with everything behind him is given an unobstructed view forward. The disadvantage Is that hè has no engine to shield him from enemy fire.

With several cannon and machine--

guns, the Fw 198 has a reputed top speep of about 400 m.p.h.
