Extra wide prop blades on He111
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what these extra-wide prop blades on this FL He111 indicate about model and possible date of this incident? Would this be well-beyond 1940? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...624%26_fvi%3D1 Thanx, |

Re: Extra wide prop blades on He111
This does not appear to be an extra wide blade, but merely a more "flat on" than normal view of the laminated wood blade as used on He 111s that had the Jumo 211F engine such as the H-6, H-16, etc. versions. These started coming into use in 1941 but didn't become common til 1942.
