About the plane:
Perhaps the best-recognised German bomber of World War II due to the distinctive, extensively glazed "greenhouse" nose of the later versions, the Heinkel He 111 wasthe most numerous Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of the war. It faredwell until it met serious fighter opposition during the Battle of Britain, when its defensive armament was found to be inadequate. The He 111 was constantly upgradedand modified, but had nonetheless become obsolete by the latter part of thewar. The failure of the German Bomber B projectforced the Luftwaffe to continue operating the He 111 in combat roles until theend of the war.
