Vultee XA-41
Originally designed as a dive-bomber, the role of the Vultee XA-41 was changed to a low level attack aircraft when the USAAF decided that dive bombers were too vulnerable. Changing priorities and the coming end of the Second World War saw the order for two prototypes changed to just one. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/vultee-xa-41-dive-bomber/ aeroplane, #Aircraft, #airplane, #attackaircraft, #aviation, #bomber, #divebomber, #VulteeXA41 -

#MelittaVonStauffenberg was born #OTD in 1903. One of the first women to fly a #glider, she became a brilliant aeronautical engineer & test pilot. The bust shows her hair merged with her flying cap - part woman part machine. Melitta developed the dive sights & dive brakes for the #Stuka #divebomber, but in July #1944 she played a key role in the #valkyrie bomb plot. Her extraordinary true story is told in my book #thewomenwhoflewforhitler #histodons #WW2 #resistance

Great talking about #MelittaVonStauffenberg, aeronautical engineer behind much of the #Ju87 #Stuka #divebomber, & exceptional #nosedive #testpilot. Deeply conflicted, she was later at the heart of the 20 July 1944 attempt on Hitler’s life. See #TheWomenWhoFlewForHitler!
