| I thought I had heard of an idea to have a zwilling Ju 290. The picture from the link shown by JG57 Rall is from one of the luftwaffe secret projects books. It is not the fighters but is either ground attack or bombers books. I have to say that the luftwaffe secret projects series are superb and great to read and have a look at the outlandish designs. | |

Country:  | Wasn't the He-111z also used as a tug for the air launched V-1!? I'm sure I've read about them, being shot down over the North Sea, by Mosquito night fighters. | |

Country:  | V-1s could be launched from single He-111s on their own.......

Country: | I could be wrong, but My understand is the Z was only used as a glider tug.

Country:  |  he 116
Hi there,
Why did the Germans go out of there way to develop the he 111 dual when they already had a four engined plane developed and running the he 116?
It just does not make any sense as the two bodies will cancel out the power of your fifth engine? Heinkel He 116 - mail plane
Get regards

Country:  | Actually a few were built. I know because there are actual photos of a Duel He-111z that I have in my collection of images. These look absolutely real without a question of photo shopping. |

Country: | Amazing idea but it used an aircraft that was on its way to being obsolete. The He-111 had been around since 1939-1940 at this stage so it was getting to need a face-lift and better engines which were never delivered... | |

Country: | Yes, it is interesting to think of what might have been for the He-111 if they upgraded the engines, etc. It could still have been effective until 1943-1944... | |
