I once found a nice little collection of interrogations of various german engineers and scientists, and one of the interrogations was of the horten brothers.In this interview they mentioned that they used Kaurit-whk resin in the construction of the 229, as well as another Kaurit family resing in certain areas (I think this other one was mixed with sawdust for use as a sort of filler, but not 100% sure)The Smithsonian link I posted above did some chemical analysis of the 229 and found the layers of glue to be very consistent with the composition of Kaurit-whk. The black specs that some believe to be evidence of charcoal is apparently little more then discoloration due to age.I wish I could find this set of interrogations again, but I think its a very telling nugget of information.
