Strategic bomber. The Me 264 could lift 39400 litres of fuel and
1800kg of bombs for an attack on the USA - merely of
propaganda importance. Drawings were made for a jet-engined
development and even a coal-fuelled version was considered.
Only two were built.

| laureano, monumental_007(@)hotmail.com, 07.01.2009 mira nunca habia oido sobre este avion pero pence que era un modelo nuevo del he 111 | | Simon Gunson, NZ, simongunson(@)paradise.net.nz, 12.12.2008 In April 1944 Allied Intelligence interrogated a German POW who had been at Lechfeld during summer 1943. He claimed the Me 264 had regularly flown to Japan from a base in northern Finland operated by Sonderkommando Nebel | | Barrett, diamondback78(@)hotmail.com, 24.09.2008 Absolutely fascinating. Never even heard a peep about this thing! Looks like a nazified B-29 | | Ali, a.s.duncan(@)blueyonder.co.uk, 21.07.2008 Thank god they didn't use those in the blitz is all I can say. When you look at the incredibly short development times of aircraft in this era, the incalculable importance of the faults in luftwaffe strategy seems all the more scarily random. | | Stephen S., stephenspears01(@)yahoo.com, 13.06.2008 I didn't know that the Germans built 3 Me-264s. I only knew of the two. But I did know they were prepping one prototype to carrry Hitler to Japan if the coup had worked in June 1944. | | PETER, peter.nik(@)abv.bg, 01.03.2008 This is copped from he-111 | | BRI'AN, NEIN, 24.10.2007 DANKE SHER! | | STEVEN, ben-sons(@)cbn.net.id, 16.06.2007 DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE THREE ME-264 HAS BEEN BUILT SECRETLY AND WAS PREPPARED TO TAKING PART IN THE OPERATION EISENHAMMER ,TOGETHER WITH FW-200 AND JU-290 HEAVY BOMBER | | STEVEN, ben-sons(@)cbn.net.id, 16.06.2007 DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE 3 ME-264 WAS BUILT SECRETLY AND WAS PREPPARED TO TAKING PART IN THE OPERATION EISENHAMMER ,TOGETHER WITH FW-200 AND JU-290 HEAVY BOMBER | | Mike Macdonald, Mike.Macdonald(@)jri.ca, 20.11.2006 I believe your statement "Only two were built" to be incorrect. One was built and flew between late '42 and mid-1944, when it was destroyed in a bombing raid. The remaining two, which were under construction, were never completed. |
