Typical that every time I publish the 'Unknown!' section in one of my Luftwaffe: Secret bookazines, I end up more or less immediately coming up with something that overturns what I've just written. This time around I wrote (p131, under 'Lippisch/Messerschmitt'):"The reference to the Ju 248 having a turbojet is strange, since it was actually powered by two rocket engines, yet no original drawing of the P 15 has yet been unearthed so exactly how this unlikely marriage of components would have worked remains unclear".I had one original copy of Lippisch's P 15 'Diana' notes but without drawings before I put out the bookazine. Then I followed up a second reference and found similar notes accompanied by eight pages of sketches showing some of the wildest Lippisch designs you've never seen - around 11 different configurations. One looks a bit like a turbojet powered P 13 with Me 163 wings. I don't want to just post them all up, since I'll no doubt publish them in due course, but you can see a little of the first sheet of sketches below.
