Heinkel He 177

The Heinkel He 177 Greif was the only operational long-range bomber to be operated by the Luftwaffe. Starting its existence as Germany's first purpose-built heavy bomber just before the war and built in large numbers during World War II it was also mistakenly tasked right from its beginnings to perform a milder version of the precision dive bombing the Junkers Ju 87 had pioneered during the Spanish Civil War.
