Next up is a great shot of a Heinkel He 70 Blitz, in Deutsche Luft Hansa colours, at Tempelhof airport in Berlin. All the early He 70s were given names, this one is Harbicht. A great looking plane which set eight world speed records, Heinkel used the Blitz as a design template for the later He 111.

This one is a beauty, it really had me stumped what aircraft it is. I finally cracked it with a bit of research, it's a Messerschmitt Bf 110 Jaguar

Fiesler Fi 156 Storch (Stork), hands down the best STOL aircraft of WWII, and arguably one of the best STOL aircraft ever. This photo looks to have been taken in Afica.
