The Blohm & Voss Ha 139 was a German all-metal float seaplane flown by Lufthansa on transatlantic routes between 1937 and 1939. At the time it was one of the largest float seaplanes ever built.
On the outbreak of World War II the planes were taken over by the Luftwaffe and converted for reconnaissance work over the Baltic Sea. They were not particularly suited for military use and were not further produced. They were really intended as mail planes for catapult operations from mailships.
