Masquerading as a civilian airliner during the mid-1930s, the
Heinkel He 111 medium-range bomber saw its first combat in 1936
with Germany's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. The
initial stages of World War II confirmed the design's prominent
role in advancing the German blitzkrieg in Poland and France.
However, it was during the 1940-41 air battles over Britain that
the type's defensive shortcomings became apparent. Easily
recognised with its 'greenhouse' nose, the He 111 was one of the
most widely used Luftwaffe aircraft of WWII and saw use as a bomber
and transport over nearly every warfront. Later models were
successfully used in antishipping and glider tug roles. A post-war
model, the CASA 2.111, was flown by Spain's air force until the
late 1950s, and as a transport into the 1970s. These Spanish models
were also seen in such classic war films at The Battle of Britain
and Patton.
