Dornier Do 19
The Dornier Do 19 was a German four-engine heavy bomber that first flew on October 28, 1936. Only one prototype flew, and it was converted to a transport in 1938. The other two were scrapped.
The Luftwaffe had a shortcoming in the lack of an efficient heavy bomber fleet. Generalleutnant Walther Wever, the Luftwaffe's first Chief of Staff was the most persistent advocate of a German long-range strategic bomber fleet. It was built for the Luftwaffe's Ural bomber program under General Walther Wever. The RLM Technisch Amt issued a specification for a four-engine heavy bomber. But after Wever's death in an airplane crash in June 1936, Wever's successor, Albert Kesselring, canceled Germany's long-range bomber projects to concentrate on tactical bombers.

That's a REALLY interesting subject It's a shame that the "URAL BOMBER" program stopped by Albert Kesserling. If they would have 4 engined long range bombers they would be able to do REAL strategic bombings (Not like He-111 e.t.c.) In All Great Britain & Behind The Urals. Cheers Nick
