Hennig flew He-51 fighters and early mark Bf109's.
I'd believe an wrong statement --- there are two logs. Or what's your explanation:

a) Strümpell 1: 01.07.1937, He 70, 14-44, start: Burgos 14.40, landing: Burgos 16.20 (right "Lt. Strümpell")
b) Strümpell 2: 01.07.1937, He 51, D - IEVY, start: Döberitz 08.55, landing: Döberitz 09.36 ("23.4.1936 Oberleutnant/later corrected: Hauptmann Strümpell")

I don't believe he didn't fly from Döberitz to Burgos on July 01,1937 or you ... ?

best regards
Rasmussen
