This list covers aircraft of the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War from 1939 to 1945.
The Luftwaffe officially existed from 1933–1945 but training had started in the 1920s, before the Nazi seizure of power, and many aircraft made in the inter-war years were used during World War II.
The most significant aircraft that participated in World War II are highlighted in blue.
A small number of surviving pre-1933 aircraft were overlooked by the RLM system and just used the company names or designations.
The primary types operated by the Luftwaffe are shown highlighted, with the most numerous in bold.
