The Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse was a low-wing twin-engine heavy
fighter developed by the famous German aircraft manufacturer as an
evolution of the previous Me-210. The heavy fighter was intended to
replace the outdated Bf-110s in the Luftwaffe Squadrons. Powered by two
1,750 HP Daimler-Benz DB603 engines, it could be used to carry out
several operational roles. Heavily armed with four 20mm Mauser cannons
and with two 7.92mm machine guns installed in the front of the aircraft,
it also featured two remotely controlled MG 131 machine guns housed in
side "barbettes" on the fuselage. The initial versions for tactical
support and bombing missions could carry an offensive payload of over
500 kg in the internal bomb bay or underwing pylons. Distribution to
Luftwaffe Squadrons was implemented from mid-1943. The Me-410
participated in operational activities on various fronts, from Italy and the Balkans to the Eastern Front.
