Heinkel He 111: libros - historia, técnica y despliegue

Heinkel He 111: Luftwaffe Medium Bomber in World War II (Legends of Warfare)

Disfrazado de avión de pasajeros civil a mediados de la década de 1930, el bombardero de alcance medio Heinkel He 111 entró en combate por primera vez en 1936 con la Legión Cóndor alemana durante la Guerra Civil Española.
Las fases iniciales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial confirmaron el papel fundamental de este diseño en el avance de la guerra relámpago alemana en Polonia y Francia. Sin embargo, fue durante las batallas aéreas de 1940-41 sobre Gran Bretaña cuando se hicieron evidentes sus deficiencias defensivas.

Fácilmente reconocible por su morro "greenhouse", el He 111 fue uno de los aviones más utilizados por la Luftwaffe durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se empleó como bombardero y transporte en casi todos los frentes de batalla. Los modelos posteriores se utilizaron con éxito en misiones antibuque y de remolque de planeadores.
El CASA 2.111, un modelo de posguerra, fue utilizado por la Fuerza Aérea Española hasta finales de la década de 1950 y como avión de transporte hasta la década de 1970. Estos modelos españoles también aparecieron en películas bélicas clásicas como La batalla de Inglaterra y Patton.

Heinkel He 111 : The Early Years - Fall of France, Battle of Britain and the Blitz (Air War Archive)

Considered to be the best known German bomber of the Second Wold War, the Heinkel He 111 served in every military front in the European theatre, having first being deployed in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It then saw extensive service in the invasion of Poland, the Norweigan campaign and the invasion of the Low Countries and France in 1940.

When the Luftwaffe was tasked with destroying Britain's ability to resist invasion in 1940, the He 111 formed almost half of the Gruppen employed by Luftflotte 2 and Luftflotte 3.
When the Luftwaffe switched to attacking cities and industrial sites the Heinkel 111 was widely employed, with raids against targets such as London, Coventry, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool.

In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, the operations of this famous aircraft in the early years of the war - particularly the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg in the West, the Battle of Britain and the very early stages of the Blitz - are portrayed and brought to life.

Heinkel He 111 : The Latter Years - the Blitz and War in the East to the Fall of Germany (Air War Archive)

The Heinkel He 111 was the main work-horse of the Luftwaffe's bomber force throughout much of the Second World War. Consequently, when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, three entire Kampfgeschwader consisted of He 111s.
Initially used as direct support for the German ground forces, as the campaign progressed the He 111 was switched to attacking the Soviet infrastructure, particularly trains and marshalling yards, and used as a transport aircraft taking in supplies and for troop evacuation.

Variants of the He 111 were used in anti-shipping roles, in both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and even for aerial launching of V-1 flying bombs, continuing the war against the towns and cities of the United Kingdom.

In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, and now part of Frontline's new War in the Air series, the operations of this famous aircraft in the latter years of the Second World War are portrayed and brought to life. A companion title to "Heinkel He 111: The Early Years".
