Alternate name: CASA 2.111

After World War I, Germany was prohibited from having bomber aircraft. So they built a fleet of fast heavy-lifting civilian airliners. Germany effectively began World War II with 808 Heinkel He 111s very capable of dropping bombs quickly. It saw use as a strategic bomber, torpedo bomber, and military transport. It was retired during the war from combat to be used for logistics.

Spain continued to manufacture the 808 Heinkel He 111 as the CASA 2.111 for military and civilian use before the war ended. As many German parts were no longer available after the war, British parts were substituted. It was used in combat until 1958. Manufacturing for civilian use continued until 1973. The CASA 2.111 was commonly used as a stand-in for the Heinkel He 111 for movies because Heinkel He 111s were rare and expensive to maintain after the war and CASA 2.111s, not so much until 1973. Since 2003 there is no version of the plane capable of flying.
