But not the first intentionally swept wing fighter design
Sure it was. Not initially, but after 42 when the research on swept wing was incoporated (and the inner wing swept as well).

In that it was all done before by Robert Goddard
So show me his 'ballistic missile' then. How far did it reach.

Sorry, but I can't see how anyone would take you serious with comments like that, obviously created by your mind to fit your simple minded views:

And the high speed wind tunnel testing the Germans were working on was for planes flying faster than that.. Which is why they did not immediately make the connection that a swept wing is beneficial at sub sonic speeds.
Funny enough too that you discredited 'design aesthetics' as other reasons for swept wing when it didn't suit your 'CoG only' theory, now that you need a straw to make it look as nothing but 'dumb luck' you use it yourself...

consistency is a virtue!
Uhhh...yes, true, you twist and bend what you say all times plus create a little stuff when needed, so guess that's some form of consistency.

Your way at looking at things is actually at least as bad as history channel.
