Man will conquer space soon! Is a great source for retro designs like this.All of these were designed by Von Braun. They were rejected.

yes, miscounted the wing fencesNice to see your stuff again. The MiG-15 is, of course, a MiG-17.
How about some Victorian Airships
Albatross and Terror, by Verne. But neither of Robur's vehicles are airships, they are heavier-than-air.

She's probably on contract.That girl really gets around.
Such craft, HtA and held aloft by horizontal props, are usually called Aeronefs to differentiate them. There's a wargame based around them and they also appear in much Victorian science fiction such as The Angel of the Revolution.I am using the original naval definition of "ship". In the navy - a boat can fit atop a ship, but a ship cannot sit atop a boat. If you go by the lengths given in Verne's books - both fit in the category of "ship" and not "boat". Therefore they are "Air-ships." Heavier than Air crafts can be called "airships" - for example, the Boeing B-17 Liberator had been called an "airship" due to its size and the number of bombs it carried.
They did like the boxed cannon. Hence the Shanxi 17.Plus the Chinese of the period had a love affair with the Mauser pistols. Especially the stocked versions. Along with the Astra etc
Notice the external fuel tanks in perfect position to be punctured by debris kicked up by the engines during landing and take off.
