| | German Bombers of World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | A contemporary to the Heinkel 111 (which it beat into the air by three months), the Ju 86 was, like its rival, designed as both a civi airliner and bomber. |
 | | This latter version was the last to serve with the Luftwaffe (bombers being afforded low priority during the last year of the war), but many interesting projects continued to be pursued, including the conversion of He 177V38 as a carrier of Germany's atomic bombs, which in the event did not materialise. |
 | | The big Heinkel Greif bombers, originally intended to provide the Luftwaffe with a strategic bombing force, encountered so many development problems that they only entered service in quantify during the last 18 months of the war. |
