Historical Note

The Me 410 Hornisse was Germany’s heavy fighter and bomber destroyer of the mid-war years, combining speed with heavy armament. The U4 variant pushed this to the extreme, fitting a tank-busting gun to turn the aircraft into a formidable threat against Allied B-17 Flying Fortress raids.
