History of the BV 141 Aircraft

The Blohm & Voss BV 141 was a German reconnaissance aircraft with an extremely unusual, asymmetrical design, used during World War II by the Luftwaffe. The machine was developed between 1938 and 1940, and its surprising wing and cockpit arrangement was intended to provide the observer with better visibility. Although only a dozen or so units were produced, the BV 141 was operationally deployed from 1941, mainly on the Eastern Front for reconnaissance and observation missions.
