Nice subject matter, No.1.

I've always looked at the shape of the A-6 and thought that someone at Grumman had a bit of Messerschmitt engineering blood in them--the Intruder looks a LOT like the P.1101!

Just what I've seen on the web and in an old magazine that I have in storage. Here's a link that shows a three-view drawing toward the bottom of the page:

Wonderful Srecko!! :-clap Thanks for share all of this with us! I like this plane so much!! Very interesting to me!! Hardly wait to see his article in next issue of magazine! :-tri
