Flying at 350 mph with a range of 565 miles, the German Messerschmitt Me-110 fighter bomber with a two-man crew, carried up to 2,000 pounds of bombs or four air-to-air rockets, and was armed with two 20mm cannons and five machine guns. The first twin-engine fighter to enter operational service during the war, the Me-110 was highly successful during the 1939 Blitzkrieg against Poland. However, it was outclassed by the RAF Hurricanes and Spitfires during the Battle of Britain in 1940, proving to be both slower and less maneuverable. Later, it enjoyed a renaissance as a night fighter.
