Proposed B-29 production in N/Ireland 1943?
I have come across a couple of comments about proposals to license build the B-29 bomber at Langford Lodge Northern Ireland 1942-1943 under the Vickers Windsor designation.
Commentaries suggest the canard Vickers T.441 C was a hopeless design and the RAF begged for license manufacturing rights. The proposal was to build 300 for RAF service about April 1943, but uncle Joe Stalin objected at the Casablanca Conference and the plug was pulled on the whole deal.
Has anybody ever heard of this, or could possibly add to the claim?
