The Messerschmitt Me 410, called “Hornisse” (Hornet), was the direct successor of the less successful Me 210. A total of 1,160 units were produced, which played an important role from 1943 to 1945 in the defense of the Third Reich against Allied bombing raids. The aircraft operated mainly on the Western Front as a heavy interceptor fighter and a long-range bomber.
