Medium German bomber aircraft used in WW2, She was also used for civil airline work, the civil version I re-painted in fictional colours military version I left in the original paint scheme it came with just to show you the different versions.

Wow!

 

That thing reminds me of the Abbott and Costello skit called "Who's on first?" After doing some research I found it's a Zwilling 111Z. You said the screenshot came with the aircraft. Where in the world did you find it??

 

Don't think I'd want to fly in any position on that thing! :eek::eek:

 

Having said that. That Zwilling 111Z is unusual enough I'd post it separate Col. A lot of folks who looked at this post earlier will miss out on that plane unless they happen to continue to look at the comments like people as anal as I do. ;)

Great link Col! Again, as an old pilot I want nothing to do with that kind of death trap. However it is a true piece of history and I'm thrilled you discovered and posted it!

 

As I said, that aircraft is enough different from the norm I suggest you do an entire new post naming it and featuring it by itself so it will get more looks! That thing makes Jan look like a sensible Spring Chicken as a pilot in comparison! :eek::eek:

I wasn't looking properly but just noticed that thing has an extra engine as well, I am guessing without looking it up but I imagine if say the main pilot got shot the other pilot on the other side could take over maybe if it has that facility.

Twice the fir power and twice the bomb load but a bigger target.
