Was a well designed effective bomber. Speed 600+MPH. Would have made a huge difference in the war's outcome except it was too late with it not being operational until Jan 1945. It was called Horton because of the two Horton brothers who were Luftwaffe pilots and designers. The Nazis also developed one(only one) operational flying saucer known to Allied pilots as "foo fighters." It was also too late and clumsy to be put into service.
