In the beginning of the 1930s an idea emerged that a high-speed bomber could outstrip contemporary fighters. One aircraft borne of this concept was the twin-engine bomber He 111, designed by Heinkel in Germany. Production of the He 111H-6, with liquid-cooled Jumo 211F-2 engines, VS 11 wooden wider horde propellers and more powerful armament, began in May 1941. This variant could carry SC 1800kg bombs or two LT F5b torpedoes externally. The He 111H-6 was the most produced variant of Heinkel’s medium bomber. Approximately 1800 were churned out up to the end of 1942. He 111H-6 planes saw service on all fronts as level bombers, torpedo bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, transports and mine layers.
