Heinkel He 119

Experimental two-seat reconnaissance aircraft. The He 119 had a DB 606 or DB 610 'double' engine, buried in the fuselage, driving a propeller in front of the transparent, unstepped nose. To streamline the aircraft even more, it used surface radiator cooling instead of conventional radiators. It set a speed record before WWII; attempts to create a bomber from it were abandoned early in WWII. Eight were completed.

This was the fastest aircraft at the time in the German Luftwaffe. It was also very clean and had little drag.

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
