This is a german aircraft to replace the out dated gotha bomber (1935) used during WWI. Over 200 were produced it has four engines and a payload of 1750 LBS, and has two gunners and a driver. This plane was a wonder, but Germany saw how terribly old-looking this aircraft was, as it was still made of wood, and even looked like an old gotha bomber, it was only in service in 1935-1936.
