Talk:List of German aircraft projects, 1939–1945

Blohm + Voss aircraft
The Blohm + Voss article lists a few of their aircraft, some of which would, it seems, fit this list. They are spelt differently from the links in the present list, but some of them would appear to be the same aircraft; perhaps the change of designation reflects their entry into production, I don't know, but the alternative spellings are the ones which actually go to articles, and the articles have information on the prototypes. However, I'm unfamiliar with the subject, so I haven't replaced links or created redirects in case they're not in fact the appropriate aircraft.

The aircraft in question are:
 * Blohm + Voss BV 40, glider interceptor
 * Blohm + Voss Ha 137, prototype dive bomber
 * Blohm + Voss BV 138, military patrol flying-boat (early versions designated as Ha 138)
 * Blohm + Voss Ha 139, long-range seaplane
 * Blohm + Voss Ha 140, torpedo bomber flying-boat (prototype)
 * Blohm + Voss BV 141, reconnaissance (asymmetric)
 * Blohm + Voss BV 142, reconnaissance + transport
 * Blohm + Voss BV 143, glide bomb (prototype)
 * Blohm + Voss BV 144, transport
 * Blohm + Voss BV 155, high-altitude interceptor (formerly Me 155)
 * Blohm + Voss BV 222, Wiking (Viking), transport flying-boat
 * Blohm + Voss BV 238, flying-boat (prototype)
 * Blohm + Voss BV 246, Hagelkorn (Hailstone), long-range radar-homing glide bomb

RLM manufacturer designations
The RLM manufacturers designations were very rarelyused with project designations, if at all,as they were intended purely for production aircraft.Petebutt (talk) 04:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Lots of red links
Are many of these links ever going to be articles? How many got further than a folder full of sketches and calculations? GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Legitimacy of... section
Refs are to blogs (and some not even relevant as they cover fake tanks, not aircraft, and others make no mention of them being fake). Does anyone have any better references to projects being faked? While I don't doubt that some could have been (with so many poorly documented projects, it wouldn't have been hard to add a few extras), I for one would like to see something more substantial, reference-wise, or the whole section will have to go.NiD.29 (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The section title is non-encylopaedic, the text itself is questionable, and as you say the sources questionable. On one hand there might be some coverage in RS about claims being made for post-war aircraft being based on German projects, and possibly about any mythology of wonder weapons created by the Third Reich, but at the moment it looks more like a hindrance than a help.

 * I've thinned out the least reliable, and a couple of unrelated, cites. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:32, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
