So tired, so very, very tired...This may be my last fact for awhile, Im going holidaying soon, so today I'll tell ya bout one of the bombers the Germans used in the Battle of Britain.

Me 110

The cream of the Luftwaffe fighter strength was deployed in 'destroyer' units, intended to smash through the fighter defences and provide long-range escort for the bombers. Against the Spitfire and the Hurricane. However, the Me-110's had finally to be provided with escorts themselves,for their lack of manouverability meant that their powerful armament was all too often useless.

Armament: Two 20mm cannons, Four 7.9mm Machine-Guns, One free-mounted 7.9mm gun.

Max Speed: 349mph



K, Im going to bed, I promise I'll have somfin' better tommorow...
