The Baade 152

The Baade 152 is a bomber plane by folks in East Germany fitted with airline features while taking on a bomber plane look. The first-ever test-run of the 152 was tragic. It crashed and everyone on board died. It was quickly scrapped in 1961. It was the first, and only, plane to be produced from East Germany.
