It doesn't look real to me. A dummy?

Cheers

It is one of the many different adaptations used at Unit level to create dummy/decoy (attrappe) designs for the He111

Hi Jim,


You're welcome.


This is a decoy aircraft. Notice the lack of wheels, just a frame to hold the aircraft. Since the Germans were aware of the measuring of shadows in aerial photo interpretation,
it was important to have the fake aircraft sitting at the correct height. That way, fake aircraft at fake airfields would draw Allied bombs away from the real thing.

I enjoy adding to the historical record.


Best,
Ed

Thank you for all the replies. It looks like it was made from plywood.
