Blohm und Voss Ha138 V2 D-AMOR: A Pioneering Transport Aircraft of the Second World War This photograph showcases the Blohm und Voss Ha138 V2 D-AMOR, a groundbreaking transport aircraft that played a significant role during the latter stages of the Second World War. Designed and manufactured by the German aerospace company Blohm und Voss, the Ha138 was a versatile aircraft that could be used for both military and civilian purposes, although this image specifically highlights its military configuration. The Ha138, also known as the "Flying Banana" due to its unique shape, was a twin-engine, high-wing monoplane with an innovative design featuring a large, unpressurized cargo compartment accessible through a rear ramp. This design made it an ideal choice for transporting troops, supplies, and even light vehicles over long distances. D-AMOR, depicted in this image, is the second prototype of the Ha138, registered with the German military designation V2. First flown on March 20, 1944, it underwent extensive testing and evaluation by the German military, ultimately leading to the production of several dozen Ha138s for operational use. Despite its innovative design and potential, the Ha138's development was cut short by the end of the war. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing chapter in the history of aviation, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the German aerospace industry during the Second World War. This photograph is a testament to the Ha138's unique design and the pivotal role it played in the transportation of troops and supplies during a time of great need.
