Season 4, Episode 11

Episode Title: The Secret Bomber

Air Date: 1992-06-17

Overview:

Focuses on the Heinkel He 111, a German bomber aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it masqueraded as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.
