The Henschel Hs 123 was a single-seat biplane dive bomber and close-support aircraft flown by the German aircraft manufacturer Henschel. It was the last biplane to be operated by the Luftwaffe. [2] [3] The Hs 123 started development in 1933 in response to a request for a single-seat biplane dive bomber.

Henschel Hs 123. The Hs 123 was not employed in the subsequent Battle of Britain as the English Channel proved a formidable obstacle for the short-ranged aircraft. The sole operator, II.(Schl)/LG 2 went back to Germany to re-equip with the Messerschmitt Bf …

The Henschel Hs 123 was a single-seat biplane dive bomber and close-support attack aircraft flown by the German Luftwaffe during the Spanish Civil War and the early to mid-point of World War II. Although an obsolete design, it continued to see front-line service until 1944, and was only withdrawn due a dearth of serviceable airframes and spare ...

2021年9月15日 · The Henschel-produced Hs 123 aircraft became the last operational biplane adopted by the German Luftwaffe heading into World War 2 (1939-1945). Born from a 1933 German requirement for a dive-bomber, several Henschel Hs 123 test aircraft would fly by 1935 (two would be lost to dive accidents in the process).

The Henschel Fleugzeugwerke AG designed the Hs 123 as a stop-gap until a more advanced dive-bomber type should emerge, what ultimately became the Junkers Ju 87.

Hs 123 was a single-seat biplane dive bomber and ground-support attack aircraft, designed in 1933. In the early 1930s, Luftwaffe’s command began to take an interest in planes capable of bombing from a diving flight. She therefore asked the German factory to design such an aircraft.

The Henschel Hs 123 was a single-seat biplane dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during the interwar period and early stages of World War II. Designed by Friedrich Nicolaus of Henschel & Son, the Hs 123 was developed in response to a German Air Ministry requirement for a new dive bomber capable of close air support and ...

The Hs 123 was built at Henschel's Schonefeld and Johannisthal factories in Berlin, but although the company built two prototypes, the first, an improved Hs 123B version with the 960 hp (716 kW) BMW 132K engine, the second, designated Hs 123C, differed by having two additional MG 17 machine-guns and an enclosed cockpit for use as an intended ...

This exceptional dive-bomber and close support machine was a sesquiplane, or 'one and a half wing' aircraft, rather than a true biplane. With its strut-braced wings, fixed undercarriage and two bladed propeller, the HS 123 proved itself in the Spanish Civil War.
