Blohm und Voss HA 139

Classic Combat Aircraft | home

Operated by Deutsche Lufthansa in the transatlantic transport role before the war, the three Ha 139's were appropriated by the Luftwaffe at the outbreak of hostilities. V1 and V2 were used as transports in the Norwegian campaign while V3 was rebuilt in 1940 and redesigned the Ha 139B/U. The most obvious changes were the inclusion of a long observer nose. The Ha 139B/U was later rebuilt and redesigned the Ha 139B/MS, being equipped with minesweeping equipment in the form of a large current-carrying degausing ring for detonating magnetic mines.
