The Bohm und Voss Bv 222 is a six-engine, all-metal flying boat from World War II. At the same time, it was the largest seaplane and one of the largest aircraft created at that time. The plane was initially used as a mail and passenger plane for Lufthansa, but in 1938 work began on a military prototype. In 1940, the first Bv 222 entered service with the Luftwaffe. During the entire war, only 13 Bv 222s were built. They were powered by 6-cylinder Junkers Jumo 207C engines with a power of 999KM each. They were used mainly as heavy transport aircraft. They served mainly in the North Sea and the Mediterranean.
