The Me 264 was designed from the begining as an 'Amerika' bomber. It's goal was to be able to
carry a small load to the United States and return or a heavier load and ditch at sea and the
crew picked up by U-boat.The first prototype flew in December 1942, but soon allied pressure
forced Messerschmitt to slow development and the prototypes were eventually destroyed by
Allied bombing.
