卡萨C.2111上的图片库，勒 卡萨 2.111 是德国轰炸机的版本 海因克尔 111 construite en Espagne . Pendant la guerre d’Espagne (1937) l’Italie et l’Allemagne équipèrent en matériel militaire les troupes du général Franco dont des bombardiers Heinkel 111D équipés de moteurs Junkers Jumo 211. A la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale un développement sous licence du Heinkel 111 nommé 卡萨 2.111 投入生产（111是德国对这架飞机的参考）。

The CASA 2.111 was a medium bomber produced in Spain under licence by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA). It was a derivative of the German Heinkel He 111H design from World War II. The C.2111 (often referred to simply as 2.111) models served as the backbone of the Spanish Air Force’s bomber fleet for decades.
The primary distinguishing feature of the later and most numerous variants, such as the 2.111B and 2.111D, was the installation of British Rolls-Royce Merlin engines in place of the original German Junkers Jumo engines, a change necessitated by the lack of availability of German parts after World War II. Its unmistakable silhouette, resembling the He 111, led to its famous use in films like 英国之战 (1969) as a stand-in for the German original.
Design and Production History
Original Design and Initial Production
- German Origin: The 2.111’s airframe is essentially that of the Heinkel He 111H-16, a German medium bomber known for its heavily glazed “greenhouse” nose.
- License Agreement: Production began in Seville after CASA negotiated a contract with Heinkel in 1940, aiming to produce 200 examples.
- Engine Shortages: Initial production of the 2.111A, C, and F variants was powered by a limited stockpile of German Junkers Jumo 211F-2 engines, which were quickly depleted post-war, halting further production. The first Spanish-built aircraft flew in May 1945.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin Conversion
The major re-design occurred in the 1950s when CASA secured a large number of British Rolls-Royce Merlin 500 engines to solve the engine shortage.
- Powerplant Change: The liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engines were installed, often utilising a “power plant” nacelle similar to those on the Avro Lancaster. This conversion is the most obvious visual difference from the German He 111, as the Merlin required a different, rounder engine cowling and a prominent chin radiator.
- New Variants: The Merlin-powered models included the 2.111B (bomber), 2.111D (reconnaissance bomber), and 2.111T8 (transport).
- Service Life: The CASA 2.111 enjoyed an exceptionally long service career, remaining with the Spanish Air Force until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
