Yes Duncan sure have,I designed my Lippisch P-10 Prop from the small three views there,a really dedicated site.
What becomes apparent is that a lot of these designs were little more than suicide bombers,designed around the big bomb itself,some of the extended prop shafts suffered from the main concern at that time 'metal quality' if they had the right materials a the time the Me.262 would have been a superb design not let down with un-reliable powerplants blowing up after about 5 hours running time.
It would have been great to have been a fly on the wall of some of these factories,sabotage was not unheard of either whilst building the aircraft,would not liked to have been in the shoes of anyone who was caught !
