Flying Wing
Just watched 'War of the Worlds' tonight. It was a 1953 film and showed an American flying Wing. It appeared to have 3 or 4 engines in each wing, 4 fins and one pilot. The aerial shots showed it to be a 'Smokey Joe' but I suppose that would be right for that era!
My question is, was it a real aircraft? or was it just one of the visual effects for which the film won an Oscar?
If it was real can anybody supply any details about it. Just curious.
