Blohm And Voss BV 238
The German flying boat Blohm and Voss BV 238 was built during the Second World War and first flew in 1944. At the time, the aircraft was the heaviest ever built, with a 120,769-pound empty weight. However, only one was built due to the resources needed to put it together. What’s more, out of all the aircraft the Axis powers produced during the war, the Blohm and Voss BV 238 is the largest.
