Description
The rapidly developing aviation industry of the Third Reich produced many innovative designs in the 1930s. Some of them were successful and gained well-deserved fame, some of them were not so lucky. Among the latter group we can place the Messerschmitt Me 410.
This design was the ultimate development of the line begun by the Bf 110, the Zerstörer (heavy fighter) of the first stage of the war.
The main propagator of the original Zerstörer idea was Göring himself, and his influence persuaded Willy Messerschmitt to start work on the Bf 110’s successor as early as 1937.
The Technische Amt (Technical Office) requirements for the new plane, which stated that the Bf 110’s successor would be characterised by greater versatility, application of new defensive weapons, and much better performance. It was assumed that the new plane could fulfil the roles of heavy fighter, dive-bomber, and high speed reconnaissance plane.
