REPUBLIC'S FLEETING MASTERPIECE

摘要

In real estate, it's location, location, location. In aircraft, it's timing, timing, timing. Some examples proving this aphorism include the Messerschmitt Me-262, Martin-Baker MB-5, Dornier Do-335, de Havilland Comet, General Aviation GA-43 and Republic XF-12 Rainbow. Later designated the XR-12, the Rainbow is widely regarded as perhaps the iston-engine airplane of all time.
