He 111 KG1 1

The Heinkel He 111 was a medium fast bomber which entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1935.  It had light defensive armament and relied on speed to out-run enemy fighters.

The He 111 was produced in large numbers, and upgraded and modified many times during WW2, but it's vulnerability to the newer fighters meant that it often needed a fighter escort, and many were lost during the Battle of Britain.

The He 111 continued in production until 1944, and was operational in all theatres of the war.  It was armed with 3 x 7.92mm machine guns, which were added to and replaced as the war went on, and carried  up to 2,000Kg of bombs internally.
