Where was the plane flown by Kampfgeschwader 55, exclusively untill 1943, designed?
Heinkel He 111 The Heinkel He 111 was a German aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" because the project masqueraded the machine as civilian transport, though from conception the Heinkel was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.
Macchi C.202 The Macchi C.202 "Folgore" (Italian "thunderbolt") was a World War II fighter aircraft built by Macchi Aeronautica and operated mainly by the "Regia Aeronautica" ("RA"; Royal (Italian) Air Force). Macchi aircraft designed by Mario Castoldi received the "C" letter in their model designation, hence the "Folgore" is referred to as the C.202 or MC.202. The C.202 was a development of the earlier C.200 "Saetta", with an Italian-built version of the Daimler-Benz DB 601Aa engine and a redesigned, more streamlined fuselage. Considered to be one of the best wartime fighters to serve in large numbers with the "Regia Aeronautica", the "Folgore" operated on all fronts in which Italy was involved.
