Re: Heinkel He 115 WNr 2398 emerges from the sea near Stavanger
The first He 115B came off the production line in Rostock in April 1939.
The first He 115Ccame of the line in March 1940. The last He 115's were delivered in July 1940. Some sources have claimed that Weser Flugzeugwerke delivered a series of He 115. This is not correct. Weser was only involved in a conversion programme, giving He 115 longer range by installing extra fuel tanks. Also some sources have claimed that the He 115 was reinstated into production in 1944. This is pure rubbish.
