  BV 138 flying boat of WWII
And since the BV 138 could also take a lot of battle damage and keep flying, especially as the diesel fuel rarely ignited when hit by machine gun fire, she was generally well liked by her crews.
Although the BV 138 was able to carry small loads of bombs and depth-charges and thereby do attack missions such as sub-hunting, most operations were pure reconnaisance and surveillance, often working together with the german U-boats.
The BV 138 flying boats were used almost all over Europe and patrolled the North Sea, Skagerrack and Kattegatt, Baltic Sea, Arctic Ocean, Norwegian Sea, Bay of Biscay as well as the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

 Blohm & Voss BV 141
The perspex glazed crew gondola on the starboard side housed the pilot, observer and rear-gunner, while the fuselage on the port side led smoothly from the 1000hp Bramo 123 engine to a tail unit (which was symmetrical in the Bv 141 V1 prototype).
By the time that a batch of five Bv 141Bs were built with the more powerful BMW 801 engines they were too late to make an impression, and the authorities proceeded instead to order production of the Fw 189.
The Blohm und Voss team came up with several other asymmetric designs, but none were actually built.

 Blohm & Voss BV P.211.02 Luft '46 Entry
This Blohm und Voss project was based on an earlier back-swept wing design, and was submitted for the Volksjäger competition.
The Blohm and Voss BV P.211.02 was designed by Dr. Richard Vogt, and was to be constructed of 58% steel, 23% wood, 13% Aluminum and 6% remaining materails.
Although the Blohm and Voss BV P.211.02 was judged as the best design, the He P.1073 (which became the He 162) was awarded a contract due to the fact that it needed less man hours for construction, and that it utilized the Bf 109 undercarriage legs.

 AVIA - Blohm und Voss Bv 138
The Blohm und Voss Bv 138 was a promising three-engine flying boat design which was slated to replace the lackluster Do 18.
Among its other duties, the Bv 138 performed as a reconnaissance platform, minesweeper, mine-detector, as well as rescue aircraft; with an endurance of 18 hours it was perfect for rendezvous and refuelling missions with U-Boats at sea.
The initial Bv 138A model was continually plagued by service difficulties which forced most of them to be converted into transports, fortunately most of these problems were successfully resolved in the Bv 138B and the definitive Bv 138C which formed the bulk of production.

 ECOMODELISMO, Blohm & Voss BV 138 C-1/MS
Description: Called the "flying sabot" because it was boat-shaped, the BV 138, despite prolonged development and testing and many technical problems that lasted several years, was the German flying boat that would be built in the greatest numbers.
HFB (Blohm & Voss) was then awarded the contract and in the summer of 1936 the HA 138 VI made its maiden flight.
The testing of the V2 revealed that further design modifications to the airframe and landing gear were needed, so that the BV 138 A-01 did not achieve a satisfactory flying performance until the summer of 1939.
