- - HE-100 History (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=4258)

Does anyone know the ultimate fate of the 20 or so HE-100's built?
A few went to Russia and Japan, about a dozen became a Heinkel defence unit.
Did any survive the war or how long did they survive?

Thanks,
Mike

The following Websites do not answer your question. However I thought that they may be of interest

In 1939... Piloted by Flugkapitän Hans Dieterle, the Heinkel He 100 V8/R (serial no. D-IDGH) seizes the absolute world air speed record from Hermann Wurster, who has flown his Bf 109 to 379 mph. The pilot achieves four legs of a course at Oranienburg to record an average speed of 463.92 mph, adding 70 mph to the previous record. (F&F)
