WWII Aircraft of the Day - The Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant

The Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant - Germany
By Salem

The Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant (Giant) was one of the biggest aircraft in WWII.
It was also the first to have clamshell doors.
This German military transport aircraft could carry 150 fully armed troops or a light tank.
The only downside of the Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant was that it couldn't unload it's cargo in the air.
But having four machine guns, the ability to land on rough airstrips and a massive cargo hold more than made up for this.
