So let us all not be so childish or hasty in our judgment of these men. One can be very intelligent and still lack knowledge.



But wait, Sir Sydney Camm is certainly not stupid. In fact he is an extremely intelligent and talented engineer who went on to design such swept wing aircraft as the Hawker Hunter.

When you consider the fact, no other nation on earth had the depth of knowledge or experience in the transonic realm that the German aircraft industry possessed, you cannot fault the men of other nations for knowledge or understanding that is not in their possession.

Have you researched the Vw and Vwck notations, I would really like to hear your input on this matter!

Maybe if you cannot figure it out, these men were not "stupid" and do not deserve such a label?
