 | Blohm und Voss BV-222 "Viking" This maritime aircraft was certainly big and its one I'm not familiar with. This plane was involved in the moving of supplies from Italy to North Africa. amazing that it never got shot down because I wouldnt say that it was very agile! Anyway here is an article devoted to it: Charles Bain on the Blohm Und Voss Bv222 "Wiking"
