Description
The famous WWII German bomber He 111 was initially created as a plane with a dual-role (commercial transport and bomber). After the end of WWI, in accordance with the Versailles Treaty, Germany could not have bombers. In the mid-1930's began a quick military development and re-organization. The summer of 1936 saw the beginning of the assembly of six pre-production planes, which received the designation He 111C-0. By the end of 1936 all six C-0's had been built and each aircraft received its own name. The He111C as well as another transport version, the He111G, was used on the Berlin-Danzig-Konigsberg line, and only a few times on the Moscow-Berlin route. Just after the invasion of Poland all He111C's and He111G's were taken over by the Luftwaffe. These planes were fitted with military radio equipment and defensive armament. In the next few years the He111C was used as a liaison aircraft.
