Aerei Henschel: libri illustrati di storia e guide

Henschel Hs 126 (Camera On)

Questo libro illustrato offre uno studio fotografico approfondito dell'Henschel Hs 126, un aereo biposto da ricognizione e cooperazione militare della Luftwaffe. L'Hs 126 fu progettato presso la Henschel Flugzeug Werke, effettuò il suo primo volo nel 1936 ed entrò in servizio tra il 1937 e il 1938.

Equipaggiato con un motore radiale Bramo 323 da 850 CV, presenta un'ala a parasole, carrello d'atterraggio fisso e un equipaggio di due persone. Inizialmente utilizzato dalla Legione Condor in Spagna, fu poi ampiamente impiegato durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale per ricognizione, osservazione dell'artiglieria e collegamento.

Sebbene gradualmente ritirati dal servizio di prima linea a partire dal 1942, gli Hs 126 continuarono a essere impiegati in ruoli secondari come il traino di alianti e le missioni di disturbo notturno.

Questo volume della serie "Camera On" contiene oltre 140 fotografie di guerra, spesso scattate da soldati tedeschi comuni, che mostrano l'Hs 126 in combattimento, danneggiato o abbandonato. Una risorsa preziosa per storici militari e modellisti.

Henschel-Flugzeuge 1933–1945

Even after more than 75 years, the achievements of the Henschel aircraft factory, active for only 12 years, remain impressive. All ten Henschel models deserve special recognition.

The author began collecting materials for a Henschel type book early, as he, like many others, was surprised by how little was known about these remarkable aircraft.

The long process of gathering and selecting documents, along with support from friends and colleagues, allowed this book to be completed. It provides as complete and accurate a history of Henschel aircraft as possible.
