one pilot and the other fuselage house the navigator/ whatever.

The germans had many asymetrical designs on the drawing board.

Take a look at Mr.Rutan's boomarang, or try looking at Luft'46,BV has many interesting asymetrical designs:aok

3 Prototypes build, 5 pre-production series A-0, 10 pre-production series B-0, 10 planes of B-1 series.

Handling characteristics were reported to be very good. However, the FW 189 was chosen to be the next tactical recon plane.

The BV 141 did a few experimental operational sorties on the eastern front only. The majority was only used for testing and some ended up in a recon training unit.

Can anyone verify the authenticity of this bird? Because if Im not mistaken the P38 marked "yippee" was teh all orange one that was comemorating a certian number of production runs of the p38.

actually, it would have actually worked if they got it into production and it wasn't super slow. they made the FW-189 better than the BV-141.
