My planes

All four of them. The Arado has a gulled lower centre section as well.

Same idea on all of them (and the Corsair as well).
Strong landing gear= short gear
Powerful engine = large prop
short gear +large prop = inverted gull wing
Evidently the Arado was actually faster, but it was a biplane so Altes Art

Competitors for the bomber "B" program, all failed because the projected Jumo 222 never reached production status.

Ju 288, Do 317 and FW 191

Great! Can't say many of the WWII vintage bombers were pretty though from purely asthetic point of view, personally I like the flying boats the most of that era (of the larger aircraft).

Great stuff Docrox! I am currently reading a book about the German attemp to develop long range bombers to hit America. All of these planes were mentioned in the book. How nice to see the planes I just read about. Thanks! :D

Hi willygoat,

I think, the following planes are mentioned as well in the book you currently read

Fw 290, Bv 222, Me 264, Me 261

You are very correct Hans. Those look so nice. It's good to see something other than a somewhat grainy B&W picture. Thanks!

[Don Boose]

Yes! Your grand collection of aircraft is a super reference source and I appreciate your willingness to share the photos.
