| Seeking a replacement for the Heinkel He 51 and Arado Ar 68 biplane fighters, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium issued in 1933 a specification for a monoplane, drawing submissions from Arado, Focke-Wulf, Heinkel and Messerschmitt. The prototype Heinkel He 112 was evaluated competitively with the three other designs at Travemunde in October 1935 and both it and Messerschmitt's Bf 109 received orders for 10 aircraft. Powered by a 518kW Rolls-Royce Kestrel V engine, the prototype was followed by two further aircraft with reduced-span wings and 447kW Jumo 210C engines. The fourth prototype, with a new elliptical wing, was evaluated operationally with the Legion Condor in Spain in 1936, and was shown at the July 1937 Zurich International Flying Meeting. The proposed He 112A production aircraft was not adopted by the Luftwaffe, which received the Bf 109 instead, but work continued on the structurally-redesigned He 112B, the 507kW Jumo 210Ea-powered production prototype which flew in July 1937. Twelve of 30 aircraft ordered by Japan were delivered in the spring of 1938, but the next 12 were impressed for Luftwaffe use, although 11 of these and the final six were supplied later to the Spanish Nationalist air force in November 1938. Thirteen He 112B-0 and 11 He 112B-1 aircraft were delivered to the Romanian air force, the order being completed in September 1939, and three He 112B-1s were acquired by the Hungarian air force in the spring of 1939. Armament of the He 112B series was two wing-mounted 20mm MG FF cannon and two 7.92mm MG 17 machine-guns in the upper engine cowling.

| frujh truth, 16.08.2020 04:54 109 range 720 km 112 range 950 km would be useful in battle of britain reply | | singüe, e-mail, 05.11.2009 02:25 He 112 WAS USED BY THE LEGION KONDOR IN SPAIN DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AND A FEW REMAINED AFTER THAT. ONE OF THEM SHOOT DOWN A P 38 OVER SPANISH AIR SPACE. ANOTHER GROUP WAS USED BY ROMANIA, I THINK. reply |
| leo rudnicki, e-mail, 09.04.2009 15:52 The only similarity with Yak-9 is the 3 bladed prop. The japanese didn't care for the high wing loading. reply | | calum morris, e-mail, 13.12.2008 22:54 it does look like a yak nine, but was developed before.
i would like to add that 30 were to be sold to japan, even though this fell through some prototypes were sent for evaluation, and it would be a help if anyone has any information on the matter.

Webmasterreply | | Guy Nasuti, e-mail, 10.01.2008 21:24 Looking for images of the He 112B for use in Aviation History Magazine. Please contact me if you have high resolution images of the plane.
Thank you! reply | | Dave, 04.11.2007 07:39 Does anyone think that this is were Mitchell the spitfire designer pinched the wing shape from? his first wing shape for the spitfire was a gull-wing that was changed to the olipticale as the H 112 reply | | John S. Talvern, 25.10.2007 10:09 Is it just me, or does this design strongly resemble the Russian Yak series of planes developed later in the war? reply | | NSDAP, 08.10.2007 07:17 Heil Hitler! reply | | Ronald Austin, e-mail, 14.08.2007 11:21 This is not about the aircraft only the loudmouthed person who entered the filth on 21.02.2007 reply | | Ron Austin, e-mail, 11.08.2007 02:50 In June 1940 at Bournemouth on the South Coast, at 1.30 PM (1330hrs) a Heinkel He 112 was flying down the Bourne Valley at about no mor than some 50ft and below the hight of the Fir trees on the West side of the vale being chasted by an Hawker Hurricane Mk I. You could see the pilots clearly. Both planes flew out over the English Channel past the Pier. Two burts of machinegun fire was heard. I found cofirmation that Hienkel gave an He112 to the Comamder of Luff III stationed in the Cherbourge area. Over the years I have tried to find other confirmation without success. reply | | STEVEN, e-mail, 26.05.2007 18:59 BY MAY 1945 THERE IS ONE SQUADRON STATIONED IN AUSTRIA WHICH STILL EQUIP WITH THE HEINKEL HE-112B.
THE SQUADRON HAD 30 HE-112B reply | | Robert Schlickewitz, e-mail, 31.01.2007 00:36 Has anyone of you guys a decent three-view-drawing of the A-version of the He-112, or at least the outlines of its stabilisators?
Thanks a million for your help

El He. 112 solo fue usado por la Legión Cóndor alemana en sus versiones de prototipo, es decir, lgunis de los prototipos He. 112V.
Los He. 112B-0 de serie SOLO FUERON USADOS POR LA AVIACIÃ"N NACIONALISTA ESPAÃ'OLA y por pilotos y mecánicos españoles, sin ninguna intervención de pilotos y mecánicos alemanes, porque los 17 Heinkel He. 112B-0 fueron comprados directamente por el gobierno Nacionalista español e integrado en el grupo (escuadrón) de caza español número 5 en agosto de 1938 y participando en la etap final de la Guerra Civil.
