Re: Heinkel He 51

Thanks for sharing this info. The number plate indicate that W.Nr. 1772 was built in 1936 by Arado Brandenburg and it was a land-plane (Ld=Land).
My listing for this small batch runs from 1767 through to 1780, all He 51C aircraft. My opinion is that all He 51's used by the Legion Condor was planes
from Luftwaffe contracts. Apparently no commercial export of these aircraft to the Spanish National Forces took place.

Re: Heinkel He 51

Post No.5 and No.10 refer. If I am not mistaken, apart from the following aircraft from 1./StG 165: "white 1" a red devils head; "white 5" a winged dragon or similar; "white 10" a horse head (not a sea horse), we now also have "white 8".

Cannot make the emblem's motif though. Any thoughts?
