Messerschmitt Me 410
Used as fighters, light bombers, photographic reconnaissance and anti-shipping aircraft, Me410s were deployed in Western Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and Italy. Novel features of the Me 410 included electrically powered, remotely controlled defensive gun turrets on each side of the fuselage. These 'barbettes' were aimed by the gunner with the use of a reflector sight.
