flightsimg Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 One more in my WW2 collection! The Messerschmitt Me-323 Gigant was a heavy assault and transport plane able to carry 15 tons of freight, or 100 military with equipment. It was especially used on the Mediterranean theater by late 1942 to deliver to retreating German Africa Korps troops. That heavy plane however, was a easy target to Allied planes. Here is a one by October 1942, in the morning, on the climb over Sicily's southern shores Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

azzaro Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Even more vulnerable in it's Me-321 glider form. Certainly not a common sight around here.

flightsimg Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thanks Azzaro. I like to read notices about those WW2 aircraft and their operational areas. Interesting! And yes the Me-321 was more dangerous still as it necessitated 3 planes to tow and a perfect coordination of 3 :) The glider version mostly was used in Russia. I saw once the Me-323 in a documentary about WW2 or German arsenal. Impressive!

flightsimg Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi! That's not I'm a specialist in WW2 airplanes but once upon a time :) I had deviced a website based upon the first Combat Flight Simulator de Microsoft, about the French Air Force in the fights in May 1940. Thence I built some knowledge about French aviation between about the 20's and 1940 And, by extension, I got interested in more, not taking in account that when a kid I had modeled the most known planes of WW2. But that one may be seen here and there in documentaries about Germany during WW2 too. The front opens in two to let the troops or vehicles in and out Thanks for the interest!

flightsimg Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks Jan and Rupert for participating! "decades of water "landings??" Hey! I ignored that Peer had a real history of water landings! I remained, about that, with its adventure in western Washington only :) Thence my remarks will be more frequent :):) Cheers Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.
