| | WW2 Warbirds: the Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstörer - Frans Bonné |
 | | BFW (Bayerische Flugzeugwerke) received an order for three prototypes that were to be evaluated against the Focke-Wulf Fw 57 and Henschel Hs 124. |
 | | Thus in 1934 a requirement was issued to AGO, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (later Messerschmitt), Dornier, Focke-Wulf, Gotha, Heinkel and Henschel for a twin-engined heavy fighter with a crew of three, a heavy gun armament including a trainable mountable cannon, and provisions for an internal weapons bay for bombs. |
 | | This was not to the likings of the RLM (Reichs Luftfahrt Ministerium), but because of urgings from Ernst Udet, a known Ace of the First World War, the design was given a fair chance. |
