The most little-known highlights of this documentary besides the Horten flying wings are Heinkel's proposals for forward-swept wing and pulsejet powered versions of the Heinkel He 162, and the Henschel Hs 132 jet-powered ground attack plane. The Ural bomber program that produced the Dornier Do 19 and Junkers Ju 89 prototype strategic bombers is mentioned in passing before the narrator discusses the Henschel Hs 132, because Walter Wever was a proponent of strategic bombing and his death in a plane crash in 1936 led to Ernst Udet ordering the Luftwaffe to put more emphasis on tactical aviation. The air-to-air missile technology that was planned for the Focke Wulf Ta 183 jet fighter is not a staple of the standard armaments of today's jet fighters, and the Horten brothers had no idea that Northrop was working on flying wing combat planes, including the XB-35 and XP-79.
