The Fieseler Fi 167 was designed for a German aircraft carrier that never entered service. Its intended role places it within the unrealized Axis carrier fleet rather than an operational German air group. A completed carrier would have provided the environment in which its naval qualities could be tested. The missing ship leaves the Fi 167 as one of the period's clearest carrier-aircraft what-ifs.
