The Northrop N9MB Flying Wing, built in 1944, performed for the crowd at the First Annual L.A. County Air Show March 21. The aircraft was one of four prototypes built by Northrop, but the only surviving aircraft left. The N9MB is owned and restored by the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, Calif. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kenji Thuloweit)
This one is about one-third the size of XB-35 flying wing bomber. I had no idea there was such a thing, much less that it was flying.
I point you to the Horton 229 too

WW2 Germany sure is a puzzle. Brilliant engineers, but a criminal administration. Guess I am glad our own politics (USA) is so tangled up with political in-fighting. It keeps them from doing any serious damage outside our borders.
