...Germany's new Heinkel (H-177) is her first four-motored bomber designed as such (the Ju-Sg and Focke-Wulf Kurier were militarized transports). Its most distinctive feature: it has only two propellers, with two liquid-cooled (1,200-h.p.) engines geared to each propeller. The 177 is larger than the Flying Fortress, is almost as fast (about 300 m.p.h.). The Henschel-129, a twin-engined attack plane, is the Germans' answer to the Russian Stormovik. The 129 has a speed of 275 m.p.h., can carry 770 Ib. of bombs, carries a 37-mm. cannon...

...Germans' use of aircraft. Here again, the use of upper Norwegian and lower French bases has proved invaluable. At first the Germans used aircraft principally as eyes, and to sow magnetic mines, but with the development of two long-range fighter-bombers, the Focke-Wulf Zerstorer and Kurier, which can sweep halfway across the Atlantic and back, they began to use planes for destruction as well. The British ogling of Irish bases is not so much for the sake of the Navy as for the R.A.F., which is hampered in the Battle of the Atlantic by a lack...
However, since the Zerstörer and Kurier have gone into action, the percentage of sinkings by bombings has probably begun to rise even higher...
...whole coast of Europe from Narvik to Bayonne was now German. The shipbuilding facilities of the whole Continent were now German. Germany now had not 100, but (with the Italians) at least 300 U-boats, and more being readied. Germany now had long-range bombers, notably the Focke-Wulf Kurier, specifically designed to ride far out over the seaways to sink ships...
