Time to go skyward again.

Meet the Messerschmitt Me 264, proposed as a long range bomber able to reach New York from France. Just three built before the project was abandoned.

It was somewhat like the B29 with remotely operated gun turrets and tricycle undercarriage.

It’s always interested me how the Germans never bought into the heavy bomber concept in the way the Americans and British did. Even if the Amerikabombers could make it, I doubt there would be much chance of any getting through.

The Americans were also working on a transatlantic bomber in case England fell to the Germans.
