Re: A most curious He 100 photo

Now I see what was being referred to. What I had referring to was the wing root intake. That wide slot-like intake under the port wing is a new feature to me. I have to agree with the view that it is a radiator. This plane had cooling problems and apart from the fuselage mounted radiator there are limited places to add more radiators. After the failure of the surface mounted radiators they must have tried out this "outboard" arrangement. Curiously the other wing doesn't seem to have it. This suggests to me that this was a brief one-off trial.
