Backround

When we look at the history of Blohm und Voss Bv155, we can see two seemingly independent events that had significant influence on the creation of this warbird. The first was a slow-growing aircraft project. The other one, independent constructional works of the leading companies of the advanced interceptor who handle at high altitudes. Another side of the story shows that the German war machine wasn’t perfect at all, even in the early stages of the war. Decisions of the RLM levels not always proved to be spot-on, and focuses on the right projects commissioned too late in the face of crushing hugs the eastern and western front. If German successfully realized Bv155 project and couple others, as Dornier Do335, or make production of Me262 truly massive, the fate of the war would have been different? Maybe, definitely the situation for the III Reich would look preferred.
