The B-17 and Heinkel were just stopping over in Denver. The HE-111 did about a dozen touch-and-goes that evening which was an sinister sight. In flight you could see the massive wing area and the kind of butterfly shape. The clear nose gave it an insect look in flight.
I realize this HE-111 came from the Spanish Air Force; however, I noticed windows. Could this have been a converted passeenger liner from pre-war days converted to military at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War?
B-17, yes original rebuilt engines for the type. He-111, no since it was a post-war Spanish-built CASA-211 with Merlin engines. It was lost in a crash in 2003.
Perfectly intact is a loose term. With most aluminum aircraft in saltwater, you will have the outline of an aircraft barely held together by the wreckage. it will be a lot of work to raise the airplane-it if holds together at all. But yes it should be recovered for preservation as a rare type. Too bad it will not be used as a pattern to construct an example for flight.

Very nicely done video. The Casa Heinkel as I call the Spanish version was a great surprise. Does anybody know how many of these medium bombers are presently airworthy?
That was the last airworthy CASA example which crashed in July 2003 after and engine failure during landing, killing the two crewmen. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum has another Spanish CASA that is runnable and could possibly be made airworthy with more work. There are no original He 111 examples that are flyable but there may be one project with the goal of an airworthy example.
@FiveCentsPlease Sorry to hear the pilots got killed. I saw that bomber fly into Millville Airport in Millville, NJ back in the nineties. It was like seeing a ghost coming in. Beautiful aircraft.
This was the last airworthy Spanish-built CASA example and it was destroyed in a crash. One other Merlin-powered CASA example could be made flyable, but all of the others are static museum displays. No original He 111s are airworthy at this time.
The B-17 has a White person painted on the outside but what it really should have is a Negro because that is what those people were fighting for even if they didn't know it. Today thanks to Americas best efforts we now have unprecedented race mixing resulting in the destruction of the White race exactly as Hitler predicted in his writings. Roosevelt who was a closet Communist got his way and forged an alliance with his friend Stalin. The new Communist Party is now called the European Union.
Agod friend of my dad Kenny Heit was a He11 Heinkel pilot in WW II. His name was Marcel Jurka and ended up in Paris after he defected in late 43.He flew for the Royal Romainian Luft under the Nazi,s.when his parents were killed in a bombing raid he defected. He started the scaled down(1/2&2/3/d) replica fighter movement in the mid 60s. They used converted Chevy and Ford engines. My Dad & I built his Sirocco design and my Dad sold his plans in the U.S.he never scaled the 111,bad memories for him.
The CASA 2.111D seen here was a transport for Spanish VIPs, including General Francisco Franco. It was purchased by the Commemorative Air Force in '77. It was the last flyable one. On 10 July 2003 it was destroyed while attempting to land at the Cheyenne Municipal A/P, WY. Reports indicate it lost power to one engine on final approach and went through a chain link fence before hitting a building that was under construction. Killed were CAF pilot Neil R. Stamp and co-pilot Charles S. Bates
PARA MI ERAN LOS MEJORES BONBARDEROS DE LA IIWW, Y LOS PILOTOS ERAN MUY ARRIESGADOS Y VALIENTES PARA SU EPOCA Y SOBRE TODO COMO LLEGABAN LOS B-17 A LA BASE CASI DESTROZADOS
@Cirrus698 No. The example in this video was the last air worthy He 111 in the world. There are, however, several planes left in various states of repair on display or in storage around the world. We can only hope that some one will find it in their heart to restore one of those aircraft to airworthyness - and with DB engines rather than RR.
There might be an He-111 project in Europe (Jumo 211, not DB engines) but the info I have is many years old. Another He-111 is in storage with a museum known for airworthy restorations, so there is future potential.
There is another CASA 2.111with the Cavanaugh Flight Museum which is in near-flyable condition but is isn't flown. There is possibly an actual He-111 airworthy project in Europe, but I haven't seen any new info on it in years.
Ive spent alot of time in the HE111 before it crashed, very sad. I was actually at the CAF museum yesterday to see the b25 "made in the shade" and still miss seeing the he....

Good footage, like the music. Saw these two on AzCaf's 1999 tour at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. Glad I got a chance to see the He-111. Liberty Belle (B-17) was just here today. Another excellent restoration.
Sentimental Journey is still flying, as of two weeks ago (Easter 2010). Yes, the He111 crashed on or about March 16 2009. Not too long ago a P-51 crashed as well, pilot error.
@chris10023465: and an original one at that. like the other guy said, it was a CASA He-111, meaning it was built in Spain and had a Rolls-Royce, not the Daimler-Benz
Good Times now,you can watch all those planes,and can say they look pretty.
Thats the reason for the weak armor in the heinkel,she was a pretty lady and the germans thought all those Spits and Hurricanes would not shoot at a lady.
But indeed the pilots were no Gents lol
So the world was saved and now we can enjoy all those pretty warbirds of Ww 2.
I paid 400 dollars to go up in a B-17. They allowed you to walk through the plane (while in the air) and check out the gunners turrets, etc. I kept thinking, some idiot is going to pull on the control cables (if they lose their balance). The cables run open through the inside of hte craft. It was expensive, but something I will always remember.
@trigga1uk when they were built , no allied airplane could keep up with them, but sit on yer hands with terrible leadership well, you know the rest of the story, do not forget the brits 7 mins to combat hours of fight time, Luftwaffe 10-15 mins fight time, so do not be to proud that the brits never won battle of Britain Germany bombed England , Russia, Romania, Poland like 45 other countries tast till the last daynot just one smaller than IOWA.
The purpose of the defensive turrets wasnt always to shoot the enemy fighter down because thats hard like you said the fighter is much smaller and faster. The purpose was to shoot at the direction where the fighter is coming from and maybe scare him off or at least disturb his aiming so he cant hit the bomber so accurately.
@lukum55 The downside was that the B17 had a markdely inferior bomb load (many guns, gunners and ammo weigh a lot). Actually the Mosquito could carry the same bomb load considerably faster and safer (and risked only two mens lives). The USAF clinged to the notion that a well armed bomber could defend itself against enemy fighters. That cost them dearly.
This "Heinkel" was a transport version altered to look like a bomber. The bomber versions didn't have dual commando, and so many windows on their sides.
but you have to point out that theyre completly diffent... not just because the 111 had just 2 engines... the b17 was desinged to be a stratgic long range bomber and the he 111 a medium range tacktikal support bomber
Actually the "Luftwaffe March" is part of the soundtrack of the film "the Batttle of Britain" and was composed for the film. It has elements "ride of the Valyries"; "Horst Wessel Lied" and other German tunes in it but was not a genuine WWII German fighting tune.
The HE 111 was Sainish President Fransisco Markos personal aircraft. It was built with Merlin engines. This the only flying example, crashed with loss of life a few years ago.
I live a mile away Falcon Field and the B17 flies over my house all the time when it is in town. A few years ago I flew in it and loved every minute. It still flies today.
Sentimental Journey still flys and gives rides. Disaster struck in 1988 when brake failure during a landing extensively damaged the underside front section of the aircraft and took six months to repair.
It's home is Falcon Field in Arizona but it tours extensively around the US during the summer.
Im not talking about large bombers, but planes like the me-109 in 1939, the me-262 and the arado 234. Not to mention the heinkel learch, he-280, and the two salamander-jetfighters.
But if I had to mention one german heavy bomber, compatible to the b-29, it would of course be the Junkers Ju 390.
The German aircraft were ok but could not match the British Spitfire and the American P-51 Mustang which was untouchable. I'm not saying German aircraft were of poor quality or design. They were ok and some were very good. They were just not spectacular. Did not have the superior technology to be the best.
@BikerRussell Ahead in aeronautical idea's but backward in production. They built many interesting prototypes but few entered service. The Nazi's proved incompetent at organizing German Armaments industry. Britain by far the smallest of the 3 major allies produced more and bigger aircraft than both Germany and Italy combined. Spears had a to force local Nazi political appointees to do what he required, resulting in German peak 1944 production months being only 95% of it's 1918 WW1 figures.
The He-111 is a spanish re-engined plane. So, original german engines were removed, after 2ndWW; english engines were installed in stil flying He-111; bombers located in Spain.
No. One CASA version is in running condition (Merlins) but does not fly. There is one possible airworthy restoration in Europe, but not much info is available.
A bomber better than the He-111 was the PZL 37B in that it was faster & more maneuverable, as well as in the way a varied bombload was carried in both the fuselage & the wings. It's a shame that only so few were built that they couldn't repulse the German onslaught in September 1939. However, they were part of some successful airstrikes against the Germans by the Polish Air Force.
Thank you for sharing this video. My uncle was the co-pilot on the HE-111 when it crashed in Wyoming. It is chilling to watch this but I appreciate your sharing! He flew both the Sentimental Journey and the Heinkel.
B-25 Memories - Big Ole Brew is a new video on MGB1977Red. In 1983 there was a gathering of B-25s in Denver and all kinds of folks came out to view the equipment...Including a former WW2 waist-gunner who had a hair-raising story to tell.
The Luftwaffe didn't really think it needed 4engined bombers since they relied on Blitzkrieg as a concept. Their bombers and fighters were late 30s designs and they stuck with them. However toward the end of the war they developed the Me-262 Jet and the V1 and V2 rockets which leapfrogged the large bomber concept. Too little, too late.
I love the B17 Flying Fortress..... It was a great Plane.. I have seen one at ILA 2006 and ILA2008 in Berlin. But this BOMBER destroy all German Citys and the British Lancaster. I have seen the Pics of my Hometown Köln after WWII....all was destroyed..., only "Kölner Dom" was still standing.

A bomber doing 200mph will never be safe against a fighter doing 400mph regardless of defensive firepower.
You just can't aim a gun at another small plane doing twice your speed with any degree of accuracy, you only have about two seconds untill he is gone.

that tail gun in the B17 looks just as uncomfortable as the ball gun turret
CMDRFandragon 2 years ago
but you have to point out that theyre completly diffent... not just because the 111 had just 2 engines... the b17 was desinged to be a stratgic long range bomber and the he 111 a medium range tacktikal support bomber

Actually the "Luftwaffe March" is part of the soundtrack of the film "the Batttle of Britain" and was composed for the film. It has elements "ride of the Valyries"; "Horst Wessel Lied" and other German tunes in it but was not a genuine WWII German fighting tune.

Sorry, but the He does not belong on the same runway as that B 17. Any P 51s around, smoke that sucker on the ground.

The HE 111 was Sainish President Fransisco Markos personal aircraft. It was built with Merlin engines. This the only flying example, crashed with loss of life a few years ago.

I live a mile away Falcon Field and the B17 flies over my house all the time when it is in town. A few years ago I flew in it and loved every minute. It still flies today.
A beautiful aircraft!

Sentimental Journey still flys and gives rides. Disaster struck in 1988 when brake failure during a landing extensively damaged the underside front section of the aircraft and took six months to repair.
It's home is Falcon Field in Arizona but it tours extensively around the US during the summer.

Cool planes. The Germans just did not have the technology the Americans and British had. B29 is my favorite.

Your funny. Tell me one long range bomber Germany had that could compare to the American B29 Stratofortress....
billcavazos 2 years ago
Im not talking about large bombers, but planes like the me-109 in 1939, the me-262 and the arado 234. Not to mention the heinkel learch, he-280, and the two salamander-jetfighters.
But if I had to mention one german heavy bomber, compatible to the b-29, it would of course be the Junkers Ju 390.
BikerRussell 2 years ago
The German aircraft were ok but could not match the British Spitfire and the American P-51 Mustang which was untouchable. I'm not saying German aircraft were of poor quality or design. They were ok and some were very good. They were just not spectacular. Did not have the superior technology to be the best.

@BikerRussell Ahead in aeronautical idea's but backward in production. They built many interesting prototypes but few entered service. The Nazi's proved incompetent at organizing German Armaments industry. Britain by far the smallest of the 3 major allies produced more and bigger aircraft than both Germany and Italy combined. Spears had a to force local Nazi political appointees to do what he required, resulting in German peak 1944 production months being only 95% of it's 1918 WW1 figures.

No. One CASA version is in running condition (Merlins) but does not fly. There is one possible airworthy restoration in Europe, but not much info is available.

to be honest the he-111 was the best bomber plane just a bomber plane
not a fighter/bomber and was packed with 109 helpers aka wingmans with one or two leaders but they didint use the 109's properly so yeh
knavargh3 2 years ago
A bomber better than the He-111 was the PZL 37B in that it was faster & more maneuverable, as well as in the way a varied bombload was carried in both the fuselage & the wings. It's a shame that only so few were built that they couldn't repulse the German onslaught in September 1939. However, they were part of some successful airstrikes against the Germans by the Polish Air Force.

B-25 Memories - Big Ole Brew is a new video on MGB1977Red. In 1983 there was a gathering of B-25s in Denver and all kinds of folks came out to view the equipment...Including a former WW2 waist-gunner who had a hair-raising story to tell.
MGB1977Red 3 years ago
The Luftwaffe didn't really think it needed 4engined bombers since they relied on Blitzkrieg as a concept. Their bombers and fighters were late 30s designs and they stuck with them. However toward the end of the war they developed the Me-262 Jet and the V1 and V2 rockets which leapfrogged the large bomber concept. Too little, too late.

were the hienkels any good, they seem to be the main german bomber, did the germans ever use large bombers or just lots of heinkels and junkers?
