History
Following the Spanish Civil War, in 1937 the Spanish Air Force received a number of He 111Bs from Germany, which had begun to receive the improved He 111D model. The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict in Spain that started after an attempted Coup d'état committed by parts of the army against the government of This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1937: Events March March 5 - Imperial Airways opens a new The Spanish Air Force ( Spanish: Ejército del Aire; literally "Army of the Air" is the Air force of Spain. There was a need for more modern aircraft, however, so in 1940 CASA negotiated a contract with Heinkel to produce 200 examples of the newer He 111H-16 in Seville. Seville ( Spanish: Sevilla, see also different names) is the artistic cultural and financial capital of southern Spain. [2] The armament was to be increased, requiring more powerful Jumo 211 engines, and around 130 examples of three versions were produced: the 2. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

Following the end of the war, access to the German-built Junkers engines became an issue, and CASA found an alternative with the Rolls-Royce Merlin 500. In 1953, 173 Merlin engines were ordered. The newly Merlin-powered bombers and reconnaissance bombers became the 2. 111B and 2. 111D, respectively; some were re-engined, while others were built new. A nine-passenger transport, the 2. 111T8, was also developed and produced. [3] Spanish 2. 111s served into the late 1960s and, in the case of the transports, early 1970s. Many of the aircraft retired in the 1960s found second lives in movies such as Battle of Britain and Patton, due to the family resemblance with Heinkel He 111s. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

Approximately 14 of these Spanish licensed built Heinkel He 111s survive today in various conditions on display or storage.
