Indiana Jones - Nazi Planes and such

Hi folks
two questions - does anyone know the model number of the Nazi Plane in Raiders of the Lost Ark? I know its reffered to as a 'Flying Wing' but a million different aircrafts come up.



and 2, does anyone know of a good website with blue prints for old WW2 era aircraft?
Im modelling this in 3d.

Cheers

The plane was fictional, based on elements of real-world experimental flying wings, like the Horten 229 and prototype designs by Northrop like the N-1M, N-9M, YB-35 and YB-49.

It's a fictional aircraft, loosely based on some experimental flying wing designs.

There might be some diagrams or something on the design of it in this book...but don't hold me to that, my copy is buried in a box 3000 miles away from me at the moment, so I have no idea if that's actually true. (Maybe someone here has a copy and can tell you.)
