Jet Propelled Aircraft Could Shape Future Warfare
New York engineer Major Alexander P. De Seversky predicts jet propelled planes will be a key Axis weapon and may aid a future western invasion. He sees high speed, high altitude jets mainly for home defense and interceptors, with potential use in B 29s for long range strikes and even carrier takeoffs. He notes jets may erase wings and rely on shape shifting thrust, limiting training needs for pilots.
