Re: Question on He 115s with 1./106 in 1939
Dear Tim, by November 1940 the He 115 had been out of production for several months. The very last He 115C left the EHF production line in July 1940. This is very well documented in the RLM aircraft production reports for this period, all to be found in the Bundesarchiv-Militararchiv, Freiberg, RL3 series of documents.
Unfortunately, so much incorrect information on Luftwaffe seaplanes over the past 50 years has been published by people not having time to bother about checking the original contemporary documentation available. This is in particular related to the He 115. |

Re: Question on He 115s with 1./106 in 1939
Dear Tim, by November 1939 the He 115B was well into its production run. Only a handful of the A-0 and A models were produced. The He 115B was delivred from the summer of 1939 and up to early 1940, with just over 120 Aircraft.
All He 115B aircraft left the factory as B-1. When fittet with optional ice-runners under the floats, It became a B-2. Also the He 115C version was only He 115C and not He 115C-1, C-2, C-3 and so on. Why complicate the history when the real thing is so simple. |
