Masquerading as a civilian airliner during the mid-1930s, the Heinkel He 111 medium-range bomber saw its first combat in 1936 with Germany's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War.

The initial stages of World War II confirmed the design's prominent role in advancing the German blitzkrieg in Poland and France.
Later models were successfully used in antishipping and glider tug roles. Easily recognized with its "greenhouse" nose, the He 111 was one of the most widely used Luftwaffe aircraft of WWII and saw use as a bomber and transport over nearly every warfront.

These Spanish models were also seen in such classic war films at The Battle of
