| The Bf 110 was a heavy twin-engine fighter, designed for fighter-bomber, bomber-interceptor, and escort fighter missions. Its use as escort fighter during the Battle of Britain was disastrous, because the Bf 110 was too vulnerable in a dogfight with single-engine fighters. Hence the Bf 110 acquired a poor reputation. But it had a good record as interceptor, fighter-bomber and especially as night-fighter. 6100 built. | |||||||||
