In Luftfahrt International N° 12, 1975 an aircraft is shown with a nice artist impression and described as

being "probably designed as a bomber". The interesting point for me is the source for this design, just a

windtunnel model (see cutout), which was held by a member of the "Aerodynamische Versuchsabteilung

Göttingen" (Aerodynamic Test Department), 1918. Nothing more is known, not the designer, or the company,

or not even, if it was a company project at all, or just a study of the AVA.

To be fair, all those points are mentioned in the article, which speaks of this model with all due prudence.But

if one of you will see this design one day in another source, maybe designated as "Dornier" or "Rumpler", as

comparisons were drawn to other aircraft of those companies, it should ring a bell !

Not to be misunderstood, I won't regard this design as a fake, it certainly was studied by the AVA, but to draw

more conclusion, that this article would be negligent, I think.
