“Gofer”

In 1938, after lengthy research, sampling and testing Günter brothers started constructing a completely new prototype machine. Trial flights of the two main prototypes V7 (new wing) and V8 (new shower) were carefully studied, and the data obtained during the tests were very encouraging. New wings have. and not only well-tested, both during the test flights, and the operation of mass-produced aircraft, but it was in full swing of their serial production. But the construction of a new cabin was still not entirely certain. In early versions the bomber pilot’s seat was made up slightly, but the controls are formed by air were traditionally. The necessity of grouping all the places the crew in a cab caused a lot of difficulties. In order to make fuller use of internal volume and release as many places, the designers decided to give the cabin an asymmetric shape. The right side of the cab made straight, and the left, which houses the pilot round. The pilot, a former commander of the crew at the same time, occupied a seat near the left side, right from his folding chair, sat the navigator, which if necessary can arrange a little “lager,”allows us to serve the front gun and easy to follow the path of the aircraft. Instrument panel was moved to the roof of the cab, with increased field of view of the pilot forward and downward, which was especially useful when landing. Certain problems arise when taxiing, but they decided with the help of a hydraulic mechanism to lift and lower pilot’s seat. To protect the pilot over his head, equipped with shifting back a little convex hatch. This partly glazed door and was in the right side of the cab. They enjoyed the navigator for the same purpose as the pilot. As for the navigator’s hatch this was not necessary to the same extent as the pilot, then the planes of the early issues hatch not set. Aircraft with one hatch were not popular, as to leave a plane in case of danger was difficult.

Direct prototypes 111P was not 111V7. The machine was new wings span 22.50 meters (instead of 22.61 meters at the previous modifications). Wing area remained the same – 86.50 m2. The cabin was completely redesigned (even compared with no 111V8). The aircraft are equipped with new fuselage gondola (V23), now the shooter could handle a machine gun lying. In addition, modernized some of the equipment. As the engines for the aircraft chosen DB 601A engines power 810 hp kVt/1100, but Motorama included the ability to install in their place and motors company Junkers AG. Prototype overflew the winter of 1938, but serial production of cars started in the autumn of that year. The first production car not 111R-1 appeared in the linear parts in late 1938 and caused a great curiosity, and sharp dislike. Disgruntled show their big claim to the cockpit of a bomber but improved tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft more than compensated for all the shortcomings. Maximum speed of the aircraft was 410 km / h at an altitude of 5000 meters, and thanks to new engines ceiling was raised at 1000 meters, while maintaining maximum speed. Vehicle weight has increased to 12200 kg, mainly due to increased flight range of 2100 kilometers and the installation of additional equipment. The new aircraft has retained excellent handling, as well as weapons. Despite suggestions of veterans of the civil war in Spain armament left with three machine guns MG 15 7.92 mm caliber.

The main drawback of these guns were powered disk (75 rounds in the disk). Despite the fact that the replacement drive takes only a few moments, in a critical situation that was enough – to release the deadly charge of the lead fighter missed three seconds. The rearming of aircraft took place in several stages and was completed only in the modification is not 111N-6. At the bombers this version, all guns were tape-powered ammunition from 500-1000 rounds on the barrel.

In general, we can conclude that no 111R-1 bombers belonged to the best of the time. A similar British Machine – “Wellington” Mk.I – had virtually the same characteristics and, consequently, we can conclude that these planes were approximately the same. The Soviet Union has a similar machine, ilyushinsky DB-3 bomber, because of its specific purpose was twice the range, but it bombonagruzka and take-off weight was two times less. For other characteristics of DB-3 and No 111 were almost equal. In France and the U.S. bombers were not a class 111. Polish bomber “Los” ‘developed about the same top speed and had a slightly lower range, but the main disadvantage of “Moose” compared to Not 111 was lower ceiling and neprotektirovannaya fuel system.

Production Not 111R-1 lasted until May 1939, followed by the assembly lines of factories in Mariane and Wismar start to go another modification of the aircraft – Not 111R-2. Plants in the Heinkel Oranienburg and Brandenburg / Havel began production of aircraft is not 111N-1 and not 111R-2. A prototype version of the 111N do not – not 111V19 (D-AUKY) was built in early 1939 based on the aircraft not 111R-0. It used engines Jumo 211A-1 Power 1050 hp and radio FuG X (but not FuG III, as before). Release Version No 111N aircraft quickly gained momentum and soon on their production has been shifted a large portion of production capacity. However, the issue is not 111P lasted until mid-1940 before this mod permanently removed from production. Simultaneous release of both models for two reasons. There is a shortage of both types of engines led to the fact that it was safer to produce two types of aircraft – so it was possible to avoid downtime. Moreover, the war was already not far off the Luftwaffe demanded as much as possible new types of “Flying spades.

Another modification of the aircraft was not 111R-3, intended for pilot training. On previous versions of this aircraft differed equipment cabin. Instead of folding chairs set up a comfortable chair navigator pilot-instructor. The plane has dual controls and, allow the instructor to correct mistakes students. The aircraft had a full set of offensive and defensive weapons and other equipment needed for combat operations.

New modifications of the aircraft do not have 111 by the armed forces Luftwaffe in late summer – early fall of 1939, as well as after the September campaign. To release the first of these modifications – Not 111N-2 – launched in late August. On previous versions of aircraft not 111N-2 were more powerful engines – Jumo 211A-3 (810 kVt/1100 hp), which allowed the car to squeeze a few more miles an hour, but in the following modifications have greatly expanded the ability of military vehicles and increased their chances in combat with enemy fighters. The need for the appearance of such modifications became clear after the fighting in Poland, which confirmed the experience of veterans of the civil war in Spain. Since the rifle-caliber machine guns still considered sufficient armament bombers, the weapons enhancement was achieved by simply increasing the number of trunks and the introduction of new machine-gun installations. On the plane can not 111R-4 and not 111N-3, which appeared in October 1939 (H-3) and in early 1940 (P-4) established four additional gun. Both versions appeared machine gun mount in the rear of the fuselage, located between the upper and lower units. The crew entered a new, fifth member, who, depending on the situation, served one of two machine guns placed in the fuselage. The position of an additional needle was not very profitable, in fact, he duplicated the arrow in the lower setting, so in practice the third shooter could at most – is to increase the density of fire. Another machine gun installed on the front of a machine gun mount, which is not adequately protect the front hemisphere of the bomber. Finally, the fourth gun placed in front of the ventral gondola. These guns can fire, where before there was a dead zone. Like the side, two front machine guns served alternately by the same member of the crew (front-top – navigator), (front-lower – Tail Gunner). If the navigator for handling two machine guns not a major problem, the position of gunner / radioman was enviable. He had to lie on his stomach in the suit, a parachute behind him and to serve the rear machine gun, and the command immediately turned 180 °, take aim and open fire. Theoretically it was possible, but in practice – is not feasible. It very quickly became “clear that the guns can not provide sufficient protection, so they replaced it with guns (in the ventral gondola) or completely removed (optional gun navigator). Prior to the designers and staff workers slowly reached that in order to provide adequate protection to increase the caliber of airborne weapons.

An important innovation in the design of both modifications was bronespinka the pilot and the rear armor shots. However, experience has shown that the thickness of armor was inadequate.

No 111R-4 was finalized before the universal standard model “4″, was to set under the fuselage bomb racks for bombs, large caliber. Another novelty in the design of this model was the installation of two holders PVC 1006L instead of one ETC, and both bombolyuka were closed. On this plane, as in not 111E-5, equipped with a bombootseke extra fuel tank. Similar changes have been made in the design of aircraft not 111N-4. This model placed the bomber two external bomb racks and an extra fuel tank for 835 liters, set in one of bombootsekov, which increased the range from 2060 to 2600 km.

The results, which were in the design and operation of aircraft is not 111 H-4 were so promising that the leadership of RLM and designers of the company Heinkel decided to continue the case and create a long-range bomber, capable of taking on board a super heavy bombs. The result was not 111N-5, which put new engines Jumo 211F-1 (the first aircraft of this modification are set engines Jumo 211D-1) power of 1,300 hp, while the engines Jumo 211D-1, mounted no 111N-3, developed only 1200 hp Inside the fuselage placed two additional fuel tanks with total capacity of 1,670 liters, and under the fuselage installed a new system bombosbrasyvaniya. The main advantage of the new aircraft had the opportunity objection heavy bombs. Mounting bombs was carried out with the aid of additional finger locks installed in the enhancement of special plate valves bombolyuka between the two standard bomb racks PVC, which can be customized by a bomb of a certain mass. Through this mechanism, not 111N-5 was able to take on board the bomb of the following types: SC 1800, SD 1400, SD 1700, SB 1800, PC 1400, PC 1600, as well as the heaviest bomb used in the Luftwaffe-2500-kilogram “Max” (raise the bomb could not only 111N-5). With this bomb, a plane would fly only a partial 1000 km, but with a minimum bombonagruzke 500 kg range is 3200 km! With a maximum takeoff weight of the load of the aircraft exceeds 15,000 kg – more to squeeze out of this construction was impossible. Despite its advantages, this modification did not enter production, and not in combat units 111N-5 was the exception rather than the standard. The most common in heavy Luftwaffe bombs capable of striking almost any target, the bomb was a mass of 1000 kg, for which transportation was not quite enough aircraft 111N-4. It is these planes and the backbone of the bombers. The main drawback of not 111N-5 was its excessive weight, which is very difficult to manage air, even when compared with sufficiently hard not to 111N-4. Fully loaded and fueled the plane could get off the ground only if there is a long concrete runway, and piloting an airplane with suspended him “Max” demanded that the pilot’s enormous skill.

While the series is not 111N experienced its peak, the series is not 111R gradually disappearing. Last modification of this series-not-111R 6 – equipped with engines DB 60IN power kVt/1175 865 hp The engines were designed for fighter aircraft and worked on a mixture of 50 MW, so the bombers, their value was questionable because of capricious and limited resources. A limited resource has been a significant disadvantage, so shortly after release of these aircraft was abandoned in the future for aircraft engines is not 111 company Daimler-Benz did not set at all.

The following modifications were remakes of the aircraft in night bombers. The first such modification was not 111N-SX is equipped with X-Geraet, and the second – not 111N-5u, equipped with Y-Geraet. Both systems were similar in design and represents the evolution of the instrument EBL 2, designed to facilitate the landing in severe weather conditions. Slightly modified EBL 2, introduced in late 1939 – early 1940 under the name Knickebein, was designed to conduct bombers in the dark or under adverse environmental conditions at distances up to 500 km. On the basis Knickebein’a was created X-Geraet – a device for precision bombing without identification purposes. This automatic system operates on the principle of finder. Two independent transmitters directed at the target a narrow beam of radio waves so that the beams crossed over the target. Along a ray plane was flying to the target, and crossing the second, dropping their bombs. Using this system, a plane (or several, launched sequentially, not together) took off from an aerodrome in France, and established a relationship with the first radio station, located near Cherbourg. Over 50 km to the target plane was crossing the first perpendicular beam sent by a radio station, located near Calais. After receiving the signal, the pilot of the plane just exhibited for the first ray, and Bombardier include “computer” is a watch with three-pointers, four buttons and an additional small dial, serves to harmonize all of the equipment. Bombardier included a clock in the moment of crossing the second beam, 30 km to the goal. After crossing the third beam, forward button stops the clock and includes an automatic bombing. At the combat mission is fulfilled and the aircraft returned to base, making way for the next crew, which had relied on a fire caused by the first plane dropped bombs. X-Geraet allowed to reach the accuracy of hitting in the 90 meters at a distance of 320 km. Y-Geraet was an upgrade of a device, and acted on the same principles. The main difference is that the instrument makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy, the signals emitted radio stations in coded form (which is difficult for the British conducted emissions) and full automation, including the discharge of bombs (although it has allowed the dumping of bombs by hand). Resetting the bomb carried by a team from the ground or, automatically, after the filing of a conditional combination of dots and dashes. Virtually Y-Geraet allowed to fly an airplane off the ground with minimal crew and was bombing their targets (eg railway stations) from a height of 6000 meters at distances up to 200 meters. The disadvantage of this system, consisting of three components – radios FuG 28a, FuG 17E and autopilot with a device LKZG. it was then. that she worked in a range of 42.1-47.9 MHz (X-Geraet worked in the range of 70-74 MHz), who used the telecentre and the BBC, located in north London (45 MHz). The British quickly discovered it and they Service Wing 80 (secret unit RAF, was engaged radiovoynoy) began to intercept the signals and jam this frequency.

In the second half of 1940, no planes 111H-3. H-4, H-5, and the series is not 11 IP modernized. Alterations affected mainly aircraft armament. In the rear fuselage placed machine guns, well-fixed at an angle to the axis of the body. On some aircraft in front of the fuselage gondola established gun MG FF. Cannon MG FF was a very powerful weapon, but its location can not be considered unfortunate – she defended the safest sector. At the same time the planes appeared mirrors, upper fairing installation and armor. protect the upper hand.

In 1940 returned to the idea of torpedo bombers. In 1938, the need for such aircraft has been questioned, but in a flare up of naval warfare need to torpedo aircraft became apparent. Therefore, in the KG 26 aircraft turned into a torpedo on an experimental basis. Under the central plane placed two torpedoderzhatelya bombopritsel and replaced by the new. Reset torpedoes carried Navigator using a special device. Instead of machine guns installed on the torpedo MG FF cannons in the dome installations. Domes and guns were still attached, as a reliable rotary devices are not developed.

Aircraft Not 111N-3. H-4 and H-5 meet the requirements of the bombers in 1940. That is when the legend began to emerge about their universality. These three modifications almost completely covered all the needs of the Luftwaffe. The only desire of the military was not to have a more modern 111. But to fulfill this desire was difficult. Development Programme bombers stagnant, and the new Ju 88 did not justify to expectations. In this situation, did not appear 111N-6, which was palliative solution to the problem. While this modification of the bomber, the designers seem to have followed the motto, which consisted of one word – “Unification”.

The only new details in the design of the aircraft were torpedoderzhateli PVC 1006V for torpedoes Ruestsatz C or bomb racks ETC 2000A for bombs weighing 2000 kg and wood screws wider profile. However, these screws have occasionally installed on the aircraft H-3 – H-5 last series. Motors at No 111N-6 were the same as in the later series of H-3, armament, too (in aircraft H-6 of the first series in front of the installation placed a machine gun, which later was replaced by a gun caliber 20 mm). Equipment aircraft also did not differ from previous versions. Minor changes made to the onboard control system and. . To facilitate the assembly of another cut out sheets of sheathing. The only external distinguishing feature was the machine gun MG 17 fixed in the rear fuselage and firing parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

Not 111N-6 adopted the Luftwaffe in early 1941. “Les Six” became a substitute H-3 aircraft. and gradually displace the H-4 and H-5. Assumed that the aircraft will stay in service about a year, then it will replace the new bomber. But the reality turned out differently. At the armed aircraft remained until 1943, and replaced it with another modification of not 111. No 11 N-6 showed a high versatility, performing as a tactical and strategic tasks. Not 111N-6 was used as a bomber (day, night, dim, distant), torpedo bomber, reconnaissance, transport and courier aircraft, director minefields, fighter (heavy and night) and, finally, attack. Not 111N-6 was the most numerous aircraft, the brothers Gunther.

Seven subsequent modifications of the aircraft can be divided into two categories. The first category includes modifications vary slightly from the basic model of H-6 different design features, and second – special versions of the aircraft. The first group were not 111N-7 and H-9, appeared in 1941, but never adopted for service. But the second group was more abundant: Not 111N-8, H-10, H-11, H-12, H-14 and H-15.

Not 111N-8 and H-10 – were night bombers, they appeared in early 1941, and their distinctive feature was the system of protection of barrage balloons. It consisted of a bracket, located on the wings and fuselage, to which were attached two long corners, forming a triangular ledge edges resting on the ends of the wings, which also housed cutters Kuto-Nase. It was assumed that the cable balloon will slide along the corner and get on the cutter. However, this system has proved impractical and impossible to use these aircraft as a conventional bomber. The speed of these planes was significantly lower, because the structure weighed over 250 kg (or rather more than 500 kg. Given the counterweight, located in the rear fuselage). Besides suffering from aircraft maneuverability hampered aerobatics and bombonagruzka decreased to 1000 kg. Armament of the aircraft consisted of only two machine guns (in the upper and lower units), and the crew reduced to four. As follows from the above description, it was too highly specialized modification, very impractical for combat units. Therefore, after a brief battle in the ranks of the remaining planes (more than 20 of the 30 were released) were taken from the line and after alteration of a designation is not 111H-8/R2 sent transport aircraft (Translation aircraft not 111 transport aircraft in 1940, became commonplace. Airplanes sent to the flight school where sometimes converted by the dual control, or after minimal alterations (install towing hooks) was used as a towing gliders. Somewhere in the middle of the war is not new transport 111R2. conversely, were sent to the bombing part), where they used for towing gliders.

Taking into account the bad experience with not 111N-8. Heinkel company released a series of increasingly more advanced bombers were not 111N-10. which became the main bomber of night. No 111 N-10 equipped Kuto-Nase. and the shape of the wings was such that at low speed cables balloons themselves slipping on the front edge. Of course, this system does not operate if the rope hit the space between the nacelle and the fuselage, but the war always have to take risks. The probability of avoiding an accident in a collision with a rope balloon at H-10 was 35% compared with 95% in H-8, but the plane was normal bomber. All Not 111N-10 were equipped with horizontal exacerbations lantern, defending the cockpit from the ropes balloons, and flame arresters on the barrel of the front gun.

Next model – Not 111N-11 equipped with a new bomb racks g PVC. resembled a “tabletop”, from which protruded 20 “fingers” for the suspension of five bombs weighing 250 kg. Bomb racks was designed so that, after minor modifications it could carry three tysyachekilogrammovye bomb. The top line was completely closed and there is bulletproof glass installed the 13-caliber machine gun MG 13 mm. and lower installation equipped with coaxial machine gun MG 81Z. This gun favorably differed from MG 15 and MO 17 large rate of (MO 15 – 550 rounds per minute, and MO 17 – 400 rounds per minute), and. most importantly, was paired. Similarly, in the side units 17 Replace old MO on MO 81. and on airplanes is not even on 111N11/R1 MO 81Z. Thus, the number of guns on board increased to seven, not counting the heavy machine gun and cannon. As with other modifications in the fuselage have placed an additional fuel tank capacity of 835 liters. Some cars in this update will be reinforced with a lantern, like a H-10.

In the early 40-ies the Luftwaffe conducted research on missiles fired from aircraft. The missiles were intended for use against large and even moving targets located at large distances, which were supposed to reduce casualties among the crew. For the tests, and in the future, and to carry the normal service was used several types of bombers, and the first was not 111. Tests of flying bombs and torpedoes (BV246, BV 143, L-10, Hs 293 and FX) is performed on a 11-IE and on separate machines version J. specially designed for this purpose, but for the needs of ispytatelskoy Versuchsstaffel 293 (293rd Squadron ispytatelskaya) created a new model – not I11H-12. Planes of this type differ from the basic design of the lack of ventral gondola and the front cannon as well as changed the radio and scoring equipment (eg a transmitter installed in the cockpit FuG 203b Kehl III. Designed for missile guidance Hs 293). Under the central plane placed two holders for the missiles, and possibly set up extra fuel tanks. In reality, these machines are never used in battle because of its low ceiling, so the whole series, released in 1941-1943 and consisted of nearly 50 vehicles were sent to flight school, aircraft taking off all the weapons. Rather Not 111N-12 in combat units have used 217 and Do not 177. Also not 111N-12 were also released Not 111N-15, designed for transporting other types of weapons – BV246. Under the wings and the left under the fuselage placed three holders for the three planning bomb. Tests of BV 246 have not yielded positive results, so the production of this modification quickly stopped, and all of the outstanding aircraft (dozen) converted for other purposes (probably up to the standard H-12 or a glider tugs). Aircraft H-15 is practically no different from the H-12 except for specific equipment, as well as the type and placement holders.

The fall of 1940 during the “Battle of Britain” in parts of the Luftwaffe began to apply the new tactics of night bombing, which was to engage point targets with heavy bombs and designations big goals fires caused by bombs, leading the crew. To perform these tasks on aircraft installed special equipment, which we have already told above, the installation of X-Geraet and Y-Geraet. Equipped with “geretami” aircraft in operational condition until 1942, but before that RLM has decided to order a batch of 100 aircraft with equipment FuG Samos, AR 25 and 351 FuG Korfu, formed a new set of guidance equipment. 30 of these aircraft (not 111N-14) distributed between the two parts: Sonderkommando “Rastedter”. formed on the basis of KG 40 and was operating in the West, and KG 100, was operating on the Eastern Front and the Mediterranean Sea. Next came a series of 70 aircraft to other parts of bomber (eg KG 66) or were converted into ordinary bombers or were workhorses, designed for towing gliders. In the future location of these planes have taken a more technologically advanced and easy to use serial No 111N-16, modified to reference “e” of the war. “Sixteenth” appeared in early 1942 as a replacement is not 111N-6. The main feature of the new aircraft had engines Jumo 211F-2 diesel 1340 hp Scheme suspension bombs remained the same: 1-2 tons on the external suspension and 1 ton on the inside of the suspension. In the overweight plane could take up to 3000 kg bombs, but needed a good take-off airport or the use of two start-up rocket boosters R-Geraet, which hung under the wings. After separation from the runway and climb boosters shot back and descended by parachute. The main feature is not 111H-I6 was the fact that the design of aircraft allowed in different ways to modify the aircraft without considerable work and rework. This plant produced four main options for this modification: the basic option, the option is not 111H-16/R1, equipped with machine-gun turret DL 131 on-site installation of the top and two machine guns MG 81Z in the side installations, version R2 – and lift. Finally, version R3-leading bomber, not replace 111N-14. Thus was achieved a high degree of unification of production. Therefore, it can be fast and lossless switching capacity with the release of one version to another, depending on the needs of the front. For example, to switch to a release version of the R3 not required to reset the assembly line, but only had to install the necessary equipment to specified locations. Of course, such a procedure could be done and technology in the field.

Much remains unclear in respect of aircraft, based at the No 111N-16 and equipped with devices Umruest-Bausatz U1 and U2. Devices Umruest-Bausatz installed at the factory, while RuestsaUt could set any field workshop. Therefore, it is not 111H-16/U1/R1, rather than not 111H-16/R1/U1, because at first the factory installed III or U2. and only then mounted special equipment specific option. Probably, under the designation of U1 and U2 hidden additional armor bomber.

Model “E” aircraft to 1943/44 years old, so there were regular modification of aircraft – Not 111N-18. Radio equipment in the aircraft remains the same, change only affects the construction of the bomber. As in other similar modifications, the crew was six, and bomb load was reduced to 1500 kg. H-18 are easily distinguishable in the forest of antennas protruding from the glazed cockpit. These highly specialized machines were not allowed in large quantities. Most of the H-18 fell into KG 40, and part of the Eastern Front in other parts of bombing. Some cars are equipped with radar FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2. These aircraft were intended for equipping fighter units operating on the Eastern front, where they played the same role in our days playing AWACS planes. Not 111N-18 is not produced in series, and altered from other aircraft modifications, as well as in the case of H-8 or H-14.

In late 1943, began to issue the next update is not 111, which was taken into account operational experience and technical innovations emerged. This modification was another step towards a comprehensive unification. When you create a new aircraft built three prototypes 111V46, V47 and V48. The plane was designed so that if necessary it can be converted to transport sixteen troopers or two containers on the outside of the suspension of 800 kg of cargo each (modification H-20/R1). make it a towing gliders (R2). bomber with a wide variety of radio and navigational equipment (R3) or night “worrying” bomber (R4). The difference between these variants was low – almost, planes differed from each other only weapons. Crew Not 111H-20/R1 consisted of three men, two of whom served two shooters gun caliber 13 mm (top and front set), but it often happened that this weapon was removed, and the side guns served by paratroopers. In variants R2 and R4 weapons have increased to three heavy machine guns and two MG 81Z in the side installations. The aircraft were equipped with R2 two external bomb racks, a R4 took on external sling 20 bombs of 50 kg each, while the plane took off bomb racks ESAC 250. Another new element in the design of a system H-20/R4 GM-1 allows for a short time to force the engine at high altitudes by injection into cylinders of water-methanol mixture. All options not 111N-20 plant was located in the upper turret.

Another modification of the bomber – Not 111N-21 – features new engines Jumo 213E-1 Power 1288 kVt/1750 hp. which allowed the aircraft, maximum speed 480 km / h, to reach the ceiling of 10000 meters and increase the standard bombonagruzku to 3000 kg. The rest of the aircraft design was virtually the same. Modification hurried to put on the conveyor, with the first 22 cars equipped with old engines Jumo 211F-2, since the new Jumo 213E-1 did not have time to deliver. The exact number of issued H-21 aircraft is not known, apparently, they managed to build 200-300 units.

In the late spring of 1944 was created a modification is not 111, is used to start flying bombs Fi 103. Using the experience gained in the aircraft will not 111N-12 and H-15 design bureau Heinkel has developed a suspension system of one bomb Fi 103 at the central plane at the ETC holder 200 to the right or left side of the fuselage. Since the end of summer 1944 no 111 no longer produced, in order to meet this new task identified several aircraft, overhauled, and several aircraft were previously “laid up” for this purpose. Outwardly “missile carriers” differed from the serial aircraft small hole in the fuselage through which passes the cord plugs engine bomb. Start cruise missile carried Gunner team mate. In H-22 aircraft reworked machines of various modifications, including N-16 and H-20, therefore, to define precisely what this aircraft H-22 could only while he was carrying a flying bomb. Radar equipment consisted of an aircraft radar and Lichtenstein radioaltimeters FuG 101.

Last changed – Not 111H-23 – was a special-purpose transport aircraft. They use engines Jumo 213A-1 Power 1306 kVt/1775 hp The aircraft was established on the basis of the transport plane is not 111N-16/R1. The crew – four men and eight paratroopers-saboteurs. Marines were in bombootsekah aircraft. H-23 have released only a few pieces and almost all of them were sent to KG 200.
