BF 162 Jaguar


Recommended Posts

Not exactly a fighter, but still an interesting variation of the Me110: it was the ground atack/bomber  Bf 162 Jaguar and was completed in the spring of 1937 as Messerschmitt Bf162 V1. Except for the fuselage, all parts corresponded to the Bf 110B. In September 1937 the Bf162 V2 (D-AOBE) was finished. The Jaguar had a 3-man crew and proved very fast and the flight performance was good.

Very similar in thinking to the Potez 630... often called the French 'Bf-110' and reportedly sometimes a victim of friendly fire as  a result... it's most produced variant (Potez 63.11) was essentially the same as the Bf-162... a three seat glass nosed multipurpose reconnaissance and a attack aircraft.
