Blohm und Voss BV155B
A prototype high-altitude fighter aircraft by Blohm & Voss company. Initially developed as the carrier-based fighter Me 155 by the Messerschmitt corporation, afetr going through many complications, was eventually repurposed as a high-altitude fighter. Later, it was taken over by B&V company, and three Type B aircraft were produced after undergoing extensive design revisions.
Furthermore, plans for a redesign to Type C were in progress, but the war ended. The sole flying prototype, Type B V1, which was undergoing various tests, was lost due to airframe trouble during its transfer flight to the UK. Its true potential remains unknown as it met its end.
