I have a picture of a German prewar He-111 that had a complete circular ringmounted around it like a huge hoola hoop. It connnected wingtips to tail toa rod in front of the nose. They had a big generator on board that wouldcreate a magnetic field to explode mines as it flew low over the water. Iwonder if the pilot has brain cancer today or how the magnetos worked?Chris bobka----- Original Message -----
