I can clear up this little mystery easily enough. The photo of the supposed I.Ae.231 is in fact the Junkers EF 82 as correctly stated elsewhere. I made the intial post of the fictional design over at the Wesworld naval RPG as the fictional I.Ae.23 dive-bomber. The photo seems to have gotten onto the PPRuNE forum in the silhouette challenge incorectly labelled as the IAe231. I'm not sure where the extra digit comes from but I can assure you all that its fiction not fact. This is twice my alt-history work has gotten onto these pages. Over zealous posting without checking facts is perhaps the root of the cause here compunded by other reputable websites making the same errors but it makes you wonder how many more of these fictional images have gotten onto these boards.
