MESSERSCHMITT BF 110

摘要

The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was used in the early part of WW2 as a heavy fighter bomber. Known as the Zerstoerer (German for 'Destroyer'), it was used by the Luftwaffe and served with considerable success in the early campaigns over Poland, Norway and the early part of the Battle of France. The Bf 110 suffered with its lack of agility and this proved to be its primary weakness. This flaw was exposed during the Battle of Britain, when some Bf 110 equipped units were withdrawn from the battle after they suffered very heavy losses and were redeployed as night fighters, a role to which the aircraft was well suited.
