Blood Red Skies expands its horizons with these new bombers and transports!
Bristol Blenheim MK IV
The Bristol Blenheim was originally developed from a design for a fast civil airliner. At the outbreak of WWII, Blenheims formed the mainstay of the RAF bomber squadrons fighting over Europe, and went on to see action in Africa, Asia and even on the Eastern Front.
Over 4,000 Blenheims were built before it was retired in favor of newer designs.

Junkers JU-88A
Originally designed as a Schnellbomber (fast bomber), the Junker JU-88 became Germany's most successful multi-role combat aircraft in World War II.
The production ran from 1936 to 1945 and over 16,000 were built, more than any other twin-engine plane in the Luftwaffe.

3x Decal sheet

Junkers JU-52
The venerable Tante Ju (Auntie Ju) was slow and outdated at the beginning of WWII, but it soldiered on as the Luftwaffe's most ubiquitous transport plane throughout the war.
The JU-52 was reliable and could carry a wide variety of loads, from much-needed equipment to elite airborne troops – the Fallshirmjager!

Liszunov LI-2
The American C-47 Skytrain (Dakota to the RAF) was a militarized redesign of the civilian DC-3 airliner, highly valued for its rugged endurance.
Under lend-lease agreements with the Soviet Union, the redesigned DC-3 became the Li-2 transport with notable turret defense now included.

Although an advanced design in the 1930s, the Tupolev SB-2 was rapidly becoming obsolete when hostilities began in 1941. Over 6,000 had been built, but few survived the first year of the invasion and the survivors were withdrawn from the front line service in 1942.
