Bah, that's nothing!
Sorry to be the splitter here, but I have read three interesting books on that subject. I highly recommend these books:
The Peenemunde Wind Tunnels (see here )
Luftwaffe Secret Projects (see here )
Luftwaffe Secret Projects / Strategic Bombers (see here )
I hate to admit it but I am fascinated with the Luftwaffe research and their projects during WWII. It's ironic really if you bear in mind that those were tools for a Nazi regime.

Wings that moved????
It’s really amazing that Messerschmidt had developed a workable swing-wing. Evidently the technology was bombed out of existence or either the Americans or the Russians hijacked the technical expertise. The amazing part is that when MBB was developing the swing-wing on the Tornado they contracted with Grumman to provide the necessary technical expertise and could not handle it themselves.

Lu - as far as I remember from the Me P1101 the wings could only be adjusted on the ground. There's one interesting website out there, check out Warbirds Resource Group
