| Strategic bomber. The Me 264 could lift 39400 litres of fuel and
1800kg of bombs for an attack on the USA - merely of
propaganda importance. Drawings were made for a jet-engined
development and even a coal-fuelled version was considered.
Only two were built.

One was built and flew between late '42 and mid-1944, when it was destroyed in a bombing raid. The remaining two, which were under construction, were never completed. reply |
