Messerschmitt Bf 162

The Messerschmitt Bf 162 was a light bomber aircraft designed in response to a 1935 RLM specification for a schnellbomber for tactical use. Messerschmitt’s design was a modified Bf 110 with a glazed nose to accommodate a bombardier. In 1937, three prototypes were flown against rival designs, the Junkers Ju 88 and the Henschel Hs 127, both entirely new aircraft.

It was eventually decided that the Ju 88 be selected for production, and development of the Bf 162 ended.
