History
Arguably
the only German aircraft of the Second World War that could rival the
Messerschmitt Bf 109 for notoriety, the Heinkel He-111 may have started
its development masquerading as a civilian airliner, but it became one
of the most feared bombers of the conflict.
With its fully glazed
nose and large, elliptical wings, the H-6 was the most produced variant
of this famous bomber, serving in every theatre of war during the
Second World War in bombing, torpedo-bombing, mine-laying and
reconnaissance roles. The lack of an effective replacement meant that
these aircraft were forced to soldier on until the end of the war.
by Jumo 211F-1 engines, had six MG 15s with optional MG FF cannon in
nose and/or forward gondola
