So far I remember , this was a toy ...
Indeed and the caption not even mentions Heinkel !
"This rustic unknown 4-engined aircraft was seen in Bremen. Remarkable those lines of
rivets and the crescent tailplane.The partly bow- and partly baker-legged landing gear
unfortunately isn't recognisable on this dull photo, but the author could convince hisself,
that the propellers were vivaciously turning in the wind.
Probably for deceiving the wicked enemy, the aircraft got cockades, too, besides the German
markings. Presumably because of the many "details" and those "international" markings
this gem should cost 25,- DM. "
The whole article is about aircraft models found on flea markets and although there are models
of the Heinkel He 70 shown, it has nothing to do with Heinkel. As Stargazer already said,
at least some insight into such texts is highly recommended, just to prevent misinterpretations.
