Worth taking a look through Unicraft's galleries for the weird & wonderful:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Man, I hate it when that happens!

I mean, there you are, just an ordinary day out in the middle of the ocean.  Just doing your job, nothing special, just retrieving yet another Apollo space capsule and then...

Bam!

Outta nowhere comes this flesh eating alien tentacle monster.

And suddenly your whole day gets ruined.

Man, I hate it when that happens!
Wherever you go, there you are!

Does anyone have a decent three view general arrangement drawing of this odd little aircraft? The usual returns on internet searches resulted in the Unicraft box art and a poor quality rough sketch from the University of Iowa Library Archives that leaves much to be desired as well as much guessing.

No 3-view just a higher-res version from the actual University e-exhibit of Lippisch's paastel/chalk drawings.
It seems to be down at the moment. I've converted the .tiffs to .png.

I've also included two more images, a more heli-like heavy rescue/cargo vehicle and an interceptor.

I have about forty more nicely sized .tiffs from the site I need to process, some pretty cool machines.

More later,
Jon
