A LITTLE MISTAKE !!

THE HEINKEL 110

What do you think ?

 

[hesham]

My dear Toura,


of course it was a misprint,they meant He.111 transport version.

Was this the same transport version which used to transport lovingly-crafted aerial cameras of the highest quality hither and yon before the War broke out? ;D

Hi Pathology.

????????????????
Something from an old "le fana de l aviation"

If the designation "Heinkel 110" or "He 110" was never allocated by either Heinkel or the RLM, perhaps this topic ought to be called "Civilian Heinkel He 111" instead? Just saying.

Hi Skyblazer

Yes of course, but, the wrong tittle of my paper is "he 110"

In 1928 Norddeutscher Lloyd launched two next-generation ocean liners the SS Bremen and the SS Europa each equipped with a seaplane catapult specially designed by German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel. Each vessel had a specially designed seaplane the Heinkel He-12, which had a more practical use, cutting transit time for international mail. The first launch and flight of these planes were on 22 July 1929 launched from the Bremen 250 miles away from New York City. This set a record for international mail with mail from Berlin to New York being delivered in just six and a half days. On the return trip on 1 August, the small plane arrived in Bremerhaven transferring mail to another plane to Berlin. This time the turnaround of mail from New York to Germany was just five and a half days. Norddeutscher Lloyd had to have additional onboard support crew for these planes in addition to the conventional ship crew.

Interesting! Does the original article reveal what engine type was behind that annular radiator?
