History: Designed in 1931 as a way to show how powerful the Luftwaffe was, The F.46B served as a propaganda aircraft in its early years. However, when it entered service in the Spanish Civil War, it was proven to be an ineffective combat aircraft. It was slower than its counterparts (on both sides) and lacked sufficient defensive and offensive capabilities. Out of around 300 aircraft that were deployed during the Spanish Civil War, only 15 were left by the time they were pulled from service.
