First flight of the Me 163A V4 in 1 September 1941.
Only nine days after the specification was issued by the RLM (July 24, 1944), the first Me P.1101 had taken shape on paper.
Me262 pg 66 Smith/Creek
"By Feb 1940, the design of the P1065 had been modified to have the outer wings swept back some 18 degrees. Originally this was done to solve problems that heavier engine weights estimates were causing with the positioning of the aircraft's center of gravity."
It would seem someone has trouble with dates.
