A French writer observes that this new fighter was first announcedin 1941 and its introduction to service use was apparently postponed until the A side elevationof the Me 115 which emphasisesthe typical Mes- serschmitt layout. new 2,200 h.p. Daimler-Benz engine, theDBG06, with 24 cylinders in X forma- tion, had been perfected. Nevertheless,the fact that so little has been heard of this fighter of recent months can only beascribed to a failure to give complete satisfaction.

This same 24-cylinder DB unit is alsoapplied to the new twin-engined Heinkel 177, which has an all-up weight of 20tons. According to French sources, the He 177 has diving brakes of the slattedty-pe and a bomb load of the order of 3$ to 4 tons. The DB60O 24-cylinder engine is ineffect double DB601 engines with cylin- ders in X formation on a common crank-case, after the style of the Rolls-Royce Vulture applied to the Manchester.
