Hi! I'd like to know which ww2 2-engine bomber looked almost identical to the Bristol Blenheim. I refer to the length, wing span,engine layout and rudder shape. Sounds a bit strange but I'd like your help.
Cheers,

The Junkers 88A was about 10% bigger in all dimensions than the short nosed Blenheim I but several times the two aircraft were misidentified and quite a few Blenheim Is got shot down by the RAF.
Hamdley Page Hampdens and Dornier 17s were also often mixed up.
The only aircraft I can think of that looked similar to the long nosed MkIV was the Tupolev SB.
Actually, the Ki-45 looked a great deal like the Blenheim.
Perhaps not in regards to the nose, but the KI-45 had very close dimensions and a similar profile (including radial engines) and could be easily mistaken during an attack or an aerial battle.
