The Messerschmitt Me 264 Amerika was a
long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft developed during World War
II for the German Luftwaffe. It was intended to support U-boat
operations far into the Atlantic, serving both as a scout to direct the
attack, as well as launching attacks of its own.
The design was later selected as
Messerschmitt's competitor in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium 's (the
German Air Ministry) "Amerika Bomber" programme, which intended to
develop a strategic bomber capable of attacking New York City
from bases in France or the Azores. Three prototypes were built, but
production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on
fighter production while another design, the Junkers Ju 390, had been
selected in its place as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
