The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The BV 40 would be towed to high altitude by single-engined fighters and then ram the bombers while in a dive, but this concept was rejected before its first flight in May 1944 in favour of using its guns.
- The Luftwaffe had lost interest in the BV 40's original mission the month prior, development continued as its mission changed to attacking ships with specialized bombs.
- Blohm & Voss discovered that the prototypes were significantly overweight, and some of the armour and one gun had to be removed to conduct flight testing.
