Henschel Hs 125

Now, this is a pretty airplane! No one will argue about that. We just wish we had more—and better—pictures of it. Only two Henschel Hs 125s were built for the Luftwaffe, which was evaluating it as an advanced trainer.

Again, the Argus V-8 was used, and we’ll bet this was a really fun and very capable aerobatic machine. There are no records of what happened to the two planes that were built, but we want one!

It’s hard to find fault with any of the lines of this elliptical winged beauty. It’s a shame that thousands weren’t built so a few would be available for us to fly today. Everything about it says, “Fly me. You’ll like it!” (Photo via Denes Bernard)
