The Gotha Go-244B-2 was a German transport aircraft used during World War II.

It was a twin-engine, high-wing monoplane designed and manufactured by Gothaer Waggonfabrik AG.

The Go-244B-2 was a notable part of the German Luftwaffe's transport aircraft fleet during the war.

This aircraft was primarily used for transporting troops, equipment, and supplies, making it a crucial component of the logistical operations of the German military.

It featured a spacious cargo hold and could accommodate a significant payload.

Its design allowed for versatility, as it could be adapted for various transport missions, including paratroop drops, medical evacuation, and aerial resupply.

The Gotha Go-244B-2 was powered by two engines, typically BMW 132N radial engines, which provided it with a reliable performance for its transport duties.

It had a relatively good range and could operate in different theaters of the war.

Despite its important role in supporting German military operations, the Gotha Go-244B-2 was gradually replaced by more advanced transport aircraft as the war progressed.

Nevertheless, it remained a workhorse for the Luftwaffe and contributed to the logistical and transport needs of the German military during World War II.

Short Description

Difficulties encountered in the use of cargo gliders and a shortage of aircraft to tow them led to the creation of a motorised version of the Go 242, the Go 244 transport aircraft.

These medium-sized transport aircraft were converted Gotha Go 242 airframes of various modifications.

Aircraft engines were installed in front of the tail beams, fuel tanks were mounted inside the aircraft, and the cockpit was equipped with the necessary equipment and instruments for flight.

The aircraft engines were most often powered by trophy French Gnome-Rhone 14M engines.

Defensive armament consisted of MG 15 or MG 81Z 7.9 mm machine guns.

The Go 244B-2 modification was based on the Go 242B-2 airframe and, like the airframe, featured an original landing gear with oil shock absorbers.

The Go 244 was in service with several Luftwaffe transport squadrons based in Greece and other countries.

Later, these aircraft were used in flight schools and training centres.
