Arado Ar 234B-2
Blitz

The first Ar 234 combat mission took place on 6 August 1944, when the V5 prototype went on a reconnaissance sortie over the beachhead in Normandy. It met no opposition. During the two-hour flight, more useful intelligence was gathered than the Luftwaffe had obtained during the previous two months.
