Description
Encouraged by his successful Ve-642 Furschlugginer fighter
design, Professor Anton Veeblefitzer, the famous schizophrenic
alt' universe aircraft inventor, cobbled together parts from wrecks
of Kurt Tank's failed experiments.
PAV took the powerful Junkers Jumo 213 liquid-cooled engine, rated
at 2,059hp, with Veeblefitzer X-Tra Wine fuel-booster, and built a frame
around it, that was as small as was possible. The craft was ridiculously
light, and the weight about half that of the TA-152!
The frame was almost totally wood, with thin sheets of El-Cheapo steel
and wood skin, glued-and-screwed, to the ribs, etc.l
The tail was a four-plane complicated mess! And the miniature wooden
counter-rotating propellers were a mess, too(!), as the tiny gears overheated
and shattered after about twelve minutes into flight!
Armament was three 35mm semi-automatic cannon. The cannon carried 10rpg.
The idea was that the pilot would follow an enemy bomber formation, from a safe
distance, and fire three-shots per trigger-squeeze, and, hopefully, bring the enemy
down! This tactic was to be called "Plinking".
Pictured is the sole prototype, piloted by PAV himself, which exploded after about
twelve minutes into its first, and final, flight!
"It sure looked cool! But it didn't deliver what I wanted it to deliver! Oh POOHE!"
Exclaimed a frustrated PAV, as he was hauled off to the nearest hospital!
