An editor included this sentence:- 'The design was taken from the German development Heinkel He 343', Though there seems to be more than a superficial resemblance between the two aircraft, I could find no evidence for this, (which is why I didn't put it in the original article). Can someone add a citation for it or I shall remove it presently.Petebutt (talk) 10:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
