Re: HE-100 History
The following Websites do not answer your question. However I thought that they may be of interest
www.anoca.org/aircraft/design/heinkel_he_100.html
www.ww2incolor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3781
www.centennialofflight.gov/user/fact_mar.htm
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)
Kind regards
