I found this page quite interesting. I wonder if anyone out there has or has seen pictures of this aircraft, drawings, or anything Heinkel He 100
Danke meine Freunde I didn't know anything about this plane until yesterday. It's history is quite interesting... a plane that was superior to the Fw190 (so they say) in 1939... I just can't imagine the outcome of its use in the Luftwaffe during early years of the war. Warm regards,
Re: He 100 I have a good videotape of the history of the Bf 109 and it shows the He 100 as the direct competitor back in the 30's. It says the Bf 109 won because the He 100 was too heavy.
Same story with this nice plane: http://www.luftarchiv.de/flugzeuge/focke-wulf/fw187.htm Better than 110 and later reordered (and canceled again) because of the horror with Me-210. These nice planes are children and victims of war too...
Fw-187 was even 60kmh faster than Bf-109B in late thirties. An english link: http://www.tgplanes.com/planfile.asp?idplane=156
Using Junkers Jumo engines... imagine if it was fit with the Daimler-Benz DB601 or so. What a great aircraft it could have been.
Re: Re: Re: He 100 I read somewhere that the RLM used to call it He112 or He113 but as a personal choice of Herr Heinkel it was renamed He100.
Re: Re: Re: Re: He 100 No, He112 was defintly a different plane. It lost comparison with Bf109, btu it was a fine plane of its time too. http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/he112.html It had a very short wingspan.
Hi Fuhrer, >Using Junkers Jumo engines... imagine if it was fit with the Daimler-Benz DB601 or so. What a great aircraft it could have been. The Fw 187B was to be fitted with DB605 engines. It would have made 547 km/h at sea level and 682 km/h at 7.1 km. Initial climb was to be 18 m/s at 50% fuel. Two of the earlier prototypes of the Fw 187 were being converted to Fw 187B status when the RLM canceled the order for unclear reasons. Regards, Henning (HoHun)
Don't read this A picture linked to above with the caption: "He 100 einer fiktiven Nachtjagdeinheit" A bunch of guys hanging around a Hienkel Fighter, looks like they are ground crew. I am interested in the technology Germany used allowing the ground crew to keep their forging caps on their heads. Notice the prop is spinning in the Hienkel Fighter? Notice all the Soldiers are wearing hats? Very high quality hats the Luftwaffe had. They could have won the war if they could invent a wind-resistant airplane to go with the hats!!!! Anyone want to see my CIA-made Lee Harvey Oswald Faked Photos Collection? No? UFO photos? NO? Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch? Loch Ness Monster? (Mirth sounds, laughter)
The He100 never fought in war. But it was used by the propaganda. So the Wochenschau reported that a new fighter was deployed to the Luftwaffe - the He100 - and these planes also had new unit-crests painted on the fuselage. And shortly after the RAF informed their pilots there were reports from allied pilots about airfights against the new He100. That shows how effective propaganda can be
Don't read this Propoganda? If NO propoganda use was made of those planes, Allied Airmen would have misidentified things. There is a thing called Fog Of War... Robert S Johnson, a talented Yankee Airman, was credited as having shot several ME-209s down
