Heinkel He - 100D – the German fighter

After failing in the competition for the best German fighter, Henrik Hertel and Ernst Heinkel began thinking in 1937 about a possible shift for the Bf-109. In the early summer of 1939, the third S-series aircraft, the He-100V-9, was completed. Its armament consisted of a cannon “MGGF”, firing through a tubular engine shaft and two machine guns “MG-17” at the base of the wing. The V - 9 was designed for static testing, and the remaining three aircraft from the original contract were completed as pre - series "He - 100D - 0". The first of them take first flight an airplane marked D-ITRL, and it took place in September 1939. In addition, Heinkel decided to produce a series of 12 He-100D-1 aircraft on his own initiative. 3 of them were bought for testing by the USSR. In the spring of 1940, the remaining 9 fighters played the role of foreign intelligence mystifiers.
