UNITEC
Today, older generations associate the name Henschel with the tradition of steam locomotive manufacturing. Younger people, at best, link the name to the production of legendary heavy-duty trucks. The company is rarely associated with aircraft anymore and has all but vanished from our generation's collective memory in this regard. Yet, certain Henschel aircraft designs—such as the Hs 129 featured in this profile—played a significant role during World War II. As a ground-attack and anti-tank aircraft, it made aviation history in Africa and Russia. This profile examines the technical and historical aspects of the design down to the last known detail.
