| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
Prior to WWII, the major world
powers knew they needed long-range fighters to escort their bombers deep
into enemy territory. To this end, the British aircraft firm Martin Baker
submitted this innovative design for a tailless, twin-engine fighter armed
with 12 heavy machine guns. Its rudder gone to help reduce drag, the plane
would use the trailing ends of its engine nacelles for lateral control. Although seriously evaluated by the RAF, the Martin Baker 12 Gun Fighter never made it past the design stage. |
