In the 1950s the US sold new jet engine planes to the spanish air force under the condition that they were only to be used in the defense of the spanish mainland and not in colonial wars. For that reason the spanish used their version of the Bf109 and the CASA 2111 in the 1957 war against Morrocco, spanish paratroopers were also deployed in that war jumping from german-made JU52.

It seems that the bombs were placed with their tail fins looking down... so that they turned around when falling. That is both puzzling and interesting. And storing them vertically would allow them to be released all at once? In more conventional horizontally stacked bombs, like the Boeing B-17, the bombs go one by one, thus the impacts end up in a long and narrow strip (more exactly, two parallel rows). How would the impacts pattern be with the vertical storage used in the Heinkel? Please can you help answer those questions?

My laptop comes with a NVidia GeForce MX150 with 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 (core speed 1500Mhz) for high demand graphics, like gaming, and an Intel UHD Graphics 620, for low demand, mundane work. I know, not the best setup for gaming, but, I still would like to know how yours looks far better than mine. Are you using an entire new IL-2 version? Are you using a mod?

I've heard it said that although fine when normal, the HE-111's greenhouse style cockpit was actually a liability when it came to flying (and landing) in inclement weather, or sunny days. Although dealing with the glare of the sun sounds fairly straight-forward and self explanatory, how is it possible to lose visibility with a cockpit that allows you a much better view of your surroundings than a more traditional style stepped window cockpit? Is it because there's no windshield wipers?

That's an interesting point there. Let me look into that

Yes it did! Capt. Brown said in foggy weather it was like flying in a goldfish bowl, very difficult to see out. That is why the seat was designed to raise pilot so he could look outside!!

@@pricelesshistory That's interesting but I don't understand how an HE-111 would be any more vulnerable in foggy conditions than a standard airplane with a traditional-style cockpit? Both are in extremely thick fog; what difference does an adjustable chair make, if you can't see period?

Excellent commentary. This explains why the Heinkle 111's in the film, ''The Battle of Britain'', had Merlin engines. What happened to all those planes??

I think they're rebuilding one to fly at the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Seattle. I'm not sure if they're turning it into a German version, but I read they have a pair of German engines.
