The Heinkel He 177 Greif (Griffin) was a large, long-range heavy bomber flown by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The He 177 was the only operational long-range heavy bomber available to the Luftwaffe during the war years that had a payload/range capability similar to the four-engined heavy bombers flown by the USAAF and RAF in the European theatre; it had higher cruising and maximum speeds. The type matured into a usable design too late in the war to play an important role. It was built and used in some numbers, especially on the Eastern Front where its range was particularly useful.
Designed to meet a specification for a long-range bomber, the He177 was first flown on November 19th, 1939. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
