Udet was very impressed by the concept of dive bombing as practiced in the U.S. in the thirties. The Curtiss would definitely seem to be the "father" of the Stuka theory.

Who could guess this plane would have such influence ;) And from my side- all shapes are completed and now start work on other elements, first to see is cockpit and the hinge line behind gunner on fuselage.
