4 He 111G-5 plus 24 He 111F-1u ( Codes “2201” to “2224”) delivered to Turkey
During the early days of 1937 a He-111 came to Ankara and made demo flights. The demos won admiration and it was followed by an order of 24 He-111F-1s in March. 16 planes arrived within the same year in two paties and the remainder came in 1938. The planes were deployed at the 1st Air Regiment in Eskişehir at the 1st and 2nd Battalions. After the arrival of the “Baltimore”s and the B-24s in the 40’s a somewhat peculiar picture was formed. The planes which were serving opposing air forces during the war were flying side by side at the TuAF.
During the war spare parts for these planes were the major problem. The were brought from Britain which were collected from the shut-down Luftwaffe planes over the British skies. In 1945 they were withdrawn from active duty after the arrival of the Mosquitos.
