The Messerschmitt Bf 165 was a German long-range bomber project. There is very little published about the Bf 165, but it is known that wind tunnel testing of the aircraft began in 1937. A full-scale mockup of the aircraft was constructed for display to the Reichsführer in 1937.{{cite book|last1=Peters|first1=Klaus|first2=Hans J.|last2=Ebert|first3=Johann B.|last3=Kaiser|title=Willy Messerschmitt, Pionier der Luftfahrt und des Leichtbaues : eine Biographie|date=1992|publisher=Bernard & Graefe|location=Bonn|isbn=9783763761036}} The Bf 165 was designed to have a top speed of 600 km/h, a range of 6000 km, and a bombload of 1000kg.{{Cite web|url=https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/messerschmitt-bf-165.17113/|title = Messerschmitt Bf 165| date=13 December 2006 }}
