 | Me-323 I just got done watching a show called "Wing of the Luftwaffe" and it was a bout the Me-323. So as I heard Junkers submitted a design does anyone have a diagram or pictures of it if there was one. Originally it was powered by Hydrogen Peroxide Rockets could be Towed by 3 Me-110's or 1 He-111 Z. The ROckets were used to aid on take off. And the point of it was incase of the Battle of Britain its could carry 120 troops artillery and a tank. Correct? |

| That was one big aircraft... Me 323 was the biggest land-based cargo transports of the war. Messerschmitt Me 323 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

| The last picture is of the Glider version's cockpit, the Me-321, not the Me-323.

Messerschmitt submitted the Me 321, as pointed out by Soren, and Junkers, the Ju 322 Mammut. The RLM asked Messerschmitt to build their design from tubular steel and Junkers from wood. The Mammut was a failure.   | |

| The Me-323 was a complete success however, an amazing transport a/c. But without escorts it was very vulnerable.

| Certainly an intriguing aircraft. Great shot with the self propelled gun out the front of the 323.
