To see our other original vintage warbird aeroplane posters, photographs and paintings, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" 1943 Henschel "Hs-126" - World War II German Reich reconnaissance aeroplane Original aeroplane recognition poster (1943) 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Henschel Hs-126 was a German two-seat reconnaissance and observation aircraft of World War II. It was derived from the Henschel Hs-122; the pilot was seated in a protected cockpit under the parasol wing and the gunner in an open rear cockpit. The prototype aircraft frame was that of a H- 122A fitted with a Junkers engine. The Hs-126 was well-received on account of its good short takeoff and its low-speed characteristics (which were needed at the time). It was put into service for a few years, but was soon superseded by the general-purpose, STOL Fieseler Fi-156 Storch and the medium-range Focke-Wulf Fw-189, known as the "flying eye". Late in the war, the Hs-126 was used in glider tug and night ground attack roles, but production of the plane ended in 1941 and the type was retired from the front line in 1942.
