The German air industry was suspended at the end of World War II. The company reemerged in 1956 as part of Flugzeugbau Nord and license built Nord Noratlas.
<p>In 1961, Focke-Wulf, Weserflug and Hamburger Flugzeugbau joined forces in the Entwicklungsring Nord (ERNO) to develop rockets.
<p>In the mid 1960's Hamburger Flugzeugbau worked on a design for a twin-jet HFB314 aimed at medium-haul market that the Caravelle was enjoying a success in. The design did not get off the drawing board with the company becoming involved in the production of the French-German Transall C-160 military transport. It also developed and built a private jet aircraft called the HFB320 which first flew in 1964.
