Heinkel He 118

The Heinkel He 118 was a German dive bomber design that competed with the Junkers Ju 87 for production but was never ordered for the Luftwaffe. Designed by the Günter brothers it was a conventional cantilever monoplane with an inverted gull wing of elliptical planform mounted mid-way up the fuselage. It was considerably more streamlined than Junkers' competitor with retractable landing gear and an internal bay for its bombs.

Borduria, seems to resemble a Heinkel He 118, however, in the 1947 version, the Heinkels are replaced by the more famous Messerschmitt Bf 109s.1
