Messerschmitt Me 210 and Me 410

"The Me 210 was the greatest miss-construction beside the He 177" said Fritz Wendel, chief test pilot of the Messerschmidt AG. "Even the total new designed Me 410 could not fulfille all of our expectations." The Me 210 looked weel constructed but had severe flaws in it, which lead to several deadly crashes which finally convinced the RLM to stopp the production.
Until then the plane was used from end of 1941as a fighter, ground-attack or reconaissance plane.
