Last year I posted some scans I did from a French-language aviation magazine I had found at the Carolinas Aviation Museum gift shop.  The article described the early days (mid to late 1940s) of the ATAR workshop, which later designed jet engines for Dassault and other projects.  The article described a number of their early projects, including a rather ungainly looking four-jet bomber and a blended wing-body fighter bomber that they tested (on paper, anyway) in a variety of propulsion configurations.  Well, I was looking over my Yahoo photo page, when I was struck with the idea of looking for more info, hopefully in English.  I ran across this page put together by the very artist who did the art for that magazine article, about transforming those sketches into a CG aircraft:
