Walter talks about importance of a vertical fin and rudder for precise gunnery, 1,500-2,000 meter target range, Walter believed a vertical fin and rudder were needed on the H IX. [4:30] H XVIII had no vertical surfaces - DeHavilland Comet employed jet engines buried in wing roots, ala Horten. [10:05] Reimar wanted "the best sailplane in the world," D-30 better at high speed, H IV better performance at slow speed... [14:17] We had no favorite Horten model, all flew well. [15:07] Walter and Myhra discuss a photo of H V, synthetic materials, "hard paper"... [20:10] student gunnery technique... Marseille's gunnery techniques... Walter's experience in combat vs. what gunnery school taught...[30:00] Walter's technique for 90 degree deflection shooting... [35:37] Walter explained his theory to British ace Stanford Tuck, Erich Hartman used these methods as well... Walter shot down several aircraft at 800-1,000 meters with his machine guns [48:00]. Walter made calculations used by a specialist at the Tarnowitz armament center who developed the "game" to show other pilots how it was done [49:53]... discussion continues on Walter's gunnery "game."
