Merriam Press World War 2 In Review. The following articles on the German Heinkel He 111 bomber of World War II are in this issue: (1) German Heinkel He 111 Medium Bomber (2) Flying the Heinkel He 111. Perhaps the best-recognized German bomber due to the distinctive, extensively glazed “greenhouse” nose of later versions, the Heinkel He 111 was the most numerous Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of World War II. The He 111 was used in a variety of roles on every front in the European theatre. It was used as a strategic bomber during the Battle of Britain, a torpedo bomber in the Atlantic and Arctic, and a medium bomber and a transport aircraft on the Western, Eastern, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African Front theatres. 253 B&W/color photos/illustrations.
