In the initial stages of WWII the main short-range recon and artillery fire correcting plane of the German Luftwaffe was the Henschel Hs 126. The Hs 126 was designed by Dipl. Ing. Fr. Nicolaus of the Henschel Flugzeugwerke. The first prototype was named Hs 126V1 and it flew for the first time in early 1937. The aircraft had excellent slow speed flight and short field characteristics. Seven modification Hs 126A-1 with BMW 132Dc engines were delivered to the A/88 reconnaissance squadron of the German Legion Condor in Spain in 1938. They featured racks for 250kg bombs.
