B&V seem to have become hung up on building clever aeroplanes rather than good ones. reply | | Barry, 11.08.2016 17:20 Contrary to what is stated, these planes were deigned as long range mail planes for Lufthansa with the first flight being made on 11th October 1938. With the advent of World War II two of the four built were converted to long range maritime patrol aircraft attached to the second Surveillance Group of Luftflotte III based in France. They had undergone much modification as can be viewed in the 3 view drawing. There overall performance was deemed disappointing and they were withdrawn from use by the end of 1942, even though they had been considered as launch vehicles for the Henschel GT 1200C guided torpedo. The other two V3 and V4 were used as troop transports to Norway and Denmark. They were capable of carrying 30 fully armed troops, but what became of them is not known.
