The Heinkel He 111 began the war as a supposedly civilian airliner — Heinkel and the Luftwaffe conspired to disguise its military purpose during development in the mid-1930s, circumventing Versailles restrictions in plain sight. By the Battle of Britain it was already obsolescent as a bomber, its inadequate defensive armament making it chronically vulnerable to RAF fighters, yet it remained in frontline service through 1945 simply because no adequate replacement ever entered mass production.
The Marshall Islands issued dozens of WWII aviation subjects in this series throughout the early 1990s, covering both Allied and Axis aircraft without editorial distinction.
