Excerpt: This list covers aircraft of Nazi Germany that served in the Luftwaffe during the Second World War as defined by the years 1939 to 1945. Number designations are largely by the RLM designation system, although in this list they are partially organized by manufacturer and role. The Luftwaffe of the Third Reich officially existed from 19331945; training for a German air force had been going on as early as the 1920s, before the Nazis came to power.

The second is a more all-encompassing list to include the time before, although projects are not covered. Captured aircraft also have a list.

A list of aircraft of the period from 19331945 can be found at list of RLM aircraft designations in the form of the Reich Aviation Ministry's list of aircraft.
