Heinkel HD 42 aka He 42
Hi All
I recently bought Christian König's book Ostseeflieger, which is about two Heinkel types, the HD 24 and HD 42 (aka He 42) On page 189 he introduces, what is new to me, the He 42 B-01 to B-010. No WNr are given, but all ten are identified by their "civil" D-Ixxx registrations. He also state that they are included in Luftfahrtrolle B Since four of these aircraft are illustrated with (real) pics, I have no doubt they are correct. However a friend of mine is admant they are NOT included in any LFR B (or NfL either for that matter) Checking my Heinkel "masterlist" I cannot find anywhere where these 10 aircraft might fit in Does anyone have clue (a guess is good enough for me) what WNr they might have had? As an aside, I was quite disappointed when the author introduces AI generated (fake) photos (a quick count gave 43!!). The book also falls quite short on the final model, the He 42 E Neither was I impressed with his references to Wikipedia..... Cheers Stig |
