Video Description
In this video, we take a look at the Junkers Ju 89, a Heavy Bomber design for Pre-World War II Germany. We first talk about the positives and negatives of heavy, long-range, strategic bombers, from their sheer power to the massive resource investment they represent. We then talk about the early stages of Luftwaffe development, how very few men in the Luftwaffe wanted or cared about a heavy bomber, and how one man, Walther Wever, got the Ural Bomber project started, for a heavy bomber that could fly deep into the Soviet Union. We then talk about the two designs that came out of the Ural Bomber design request, in the Dornier Do 19 and the Ju 89. We talk about their relatively lackluster anticipated specs, and the disappointing results of their first flights. We then talk about the demise of Wever, and how that effectively spelled the end for the Ural Bomber project. We talk about his successor, his views on heavy bombers, the end of the Ural Bomber project, and we end by talking about how Wever and his successor eventually got a heavy bomber design in the Heinkel He 177.
