I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and wondered about that Nazi flying wing
The Nazi Flying Wing seen in the film was not a real plane. Raiders production designer Norman Reynolds designed the plane for the film, based on historical Northrop Corporation designs and drawings by Ron Cobb of the Horten Ho-2-29. The fake plane was built by Vickers, and was painted in London at EMI Elstree Studios. In order to ship the unwieldy prop to Tunisia, it had to be disassembled and
great wagon design, from the Burt Lancaster movie "The Scalphunters" with Ossie Davis, Telly Savalas, and Shelly Winters
I liked the movie, Ossie and Burt have contrasting views about everything, Telly is the bad guy who has stolen from Burt, and this wagon is Shelly's transport to Mexico. The small stove over the water barrel, the little dresser and mirror, and the canvas shades that roll up are nice features, but the best part is the full size brass bed inside the wagon for a comfortable nights sleep, every night
