The Mysterious Airplane that Terrorized Europe Before WW2

[@diegoferreiro9478]

I read an article from a retired Spanish military aeronautical engineer where he aknoweldged that at least in 1951 a He.70 was still flying. It was in Tetouan, then Spanish Morocco, where they had a handful of Civil War relics, including a lone He.70 that was deemed as air unworthy. A new colonel arrived to command the Tetouan base in 1950, and when he found out that there was a He.70 he ordered to restore the plane to flying condition. He had flown the model in the Civil War and required to use it as his personal liaison plane. The aforementioned engineer was dispatched from Seville to have a look and he found out that the plane was in quite good condition except for the wheel brakes, that were elastic tubes that operated under compressed air action and they were long gone and replaced by some rigid tubes that did not work at all. Then he started to look for spares in all Spanish bases and he found out that at León there were original brake spares, so they could fix the plane and put to fly again. When the engineer was moved to another destination in 1951-1952 the He.70 was still flying regularly, but he did not know when it was the last time.

[@ricardodavidson3813]

I would like to leave a couple of comments. Elektron is flammable and easier to ignite if in sheet form, the Germans also used it for engine mounts as a pair of bulky forgings, one either side of the block, throughout WW2. As far as I know this was not a particular fire hazard. Westlands in the UK also used a single Electron forging in the Lysander for the horseshoe-shaped forging that made up the undercarriage legs and connected them to the fuselage. This was often the most salient surviving part from a crashed aircraft, apparently it too didn't burn often. Lysanders built in Canadas used s conventional structure for the undercarriage. The density of Elektron is about 1.8 g/cc while duraluminium is about 2.8 g/cc, Elektron is actually a trade name registered by a British company. The other fire hazard in the Blitz was the absence of self-sealing fuel tanks, I would list this as the main problem. BMW engines were nothing special. Reliable but high displacement engines run at low manifold pressures. They did not have reduction gears, hence the small relatively inefficient airscrew and the blunt nose. The first fighters in Luftwaffe service were Arado and Heinkel biplanes that used this engine, then it died out as it basically did not have development potential. BMW then concentrated on radial engines, they inherited from Siemens via Bramo the Bristol approach with the Jupiter, and from somewhere else licence production of American engines (Wright I think), this gave them their head start in the field. It may interest our readers to know that the prototypes for the Bf109, He112 and Ju87 first flew with British engines, the Rolls-Royce Kestrel, as the Jumo power plant destined for these aircraft was being slowly developed (carburettor feed, fuel injection came much later as did the DB engines). The Kestrel was a fully developed, totally reliable engine that had been in service for years, so it was hardly secret. Germany however, did not have any money, the result of war reparations and Weimar Republic management, so they did a barter deal. Germany would send a nice Blitz for Rolls Royce to play with, and RR would give them a handful of engines to test Hitler's new toys. RR was very happy with the deal because the Blitz, with its exquisite aerodynamic purity, was the perfect test bed for the new high-power fighter engines in development, allowing these to be tested at close to their envisaged service airspeeds. The cabin of the Blitz was also spacious enough to accommodate a couple of technicians and a pile of engine monitoring instruments. As nobody was going to shoot at it, the fact that it caught fire easily was not so much of a problem. There are some keyboard engineers out there that claim that the Blitz inspired the Spitfire. This is total rubbish, the design of the Spitfire had been finalised weeks before the Blitz arrived in the UK. The theoretical properties of an elliptical wing planform were well known in the aviation field since the end of WW1 and several manufactures made use of these qualities, so it was not unique or miraculous. The Blitz had a conventional multi-spar wing structure with a fairly thick profile, the Spitfire had a modified elliptical planform, a mono-spar wing making use of a leading edge torsion box and a very innovative laminated main spar, also the profile was much thinner. Mitsubishi's first monoplane fighter for the IJN also had an elliptical planform, and later the P-47 and Hawker Tempest also. Why didn't everybody use this if it's so good? Basically because of cost, every rib in an elliptical wing meets the span wise elements at a different angle, this requires multiple machining operations and extra care on assembly. The Spitfire's wing cost three times more man-hours to build than the Bf109's trapezoidal wing. It's a nice idea, and aesthetically very pleasing, but once you actually start building the things you realise what a burden it is.

[@phelmersaid701]

Wow! Your mind has lots of interesting information in it. Rare information for sure. How will you pass it on?

[@ricardodavidson3813]

@@phelmersaid701 I've no plan to do so, I will occasionally respond to other people's articles. Sometimes this causes heated discussions if what I say goes against someone's faith. It's important to keep an open mind and rely on fact-farming rather than heartfelt beliefs. I spotted (I did not waste time watching it) a video that said in the title that th Soviets loved the Sherman tank... I don't know where he got that one from, the Soviets rejected the Sherman that was being offered on Lend-Lease. This in turn caused problems because the US had been gearing up to produce thousands of the beasts. They then tried to politically bully the British to stop all tank manufacture (weird that one, the British after all invented the thing, but the US does this all the time, I suppose it's part of the Special Relationship) so that they could sell them more Shermans. They lost, the British continued to build tanks and rather better ones than the Sherman towards the end of WW2, the Centurion was the great success story of its generation. Summarising, there's a lot of misinformation out there and I think a lot of it comes from the gaming fraternity that relies on perceived qualities rather than verifiable facts. Also the re-enactment groups generate their own parallel universe, but that is more historical than technical. You can start by looking up a subject in Wikipedia, then cross over to other related articles. Check their sources, Wiki is fairly reliable on technical matters, less so on purely historical matters but look at he references.

[@richardwagner4460]

Elektron sounds like magnesium.

[@ricardodavidson3813]

@@richardwagner4460 Elektron is a magnesium alloy, it also has small amounts of other elements. It is in fact a registered trade name belonging to an English company. Look it up. In practical terms its flammability is much like pure magnesium. The issue here I think, is that we are dealing with big forgings in an alloy that is a very good heat conductor, heat will be drained away and at the point of heating may not reach ignition temperature. Sheet and sheet profiles, on the other hand, have small conductive sections so heat will not be drained away. Once ignition takes place it is almost impossible to extinguish, magnesium burns slowly in pure nitrogen, yielding the nitride. You can weld magnesium alloys, but it must be done in an argon atmosphere. Perhaps you can research photographs of German wrecked aircraft and see if the engine bearers are still in place. British aircraft used welded steel tube engine bearers that usually survived in a bent and twisted form even if the engine block has melted leaving the steel liners.

[@tsegulin]

In his biography, Ernst Heinkel describes how the He-70 came to be. A new lucrative commercial aerial service appeared in the US for moving mail long distances quickly by air. Lufthansa wanted to start such a service in Europe and were considering buying American Lockheed aircraft which had pioneered the fast air mail service in America. Heinkel convinced Lufthansa's general manager to give him a chance to build a German mail aircraft with superior performance and the result was the He-70, designed by Siegfried and Walter Gunther. It lived up the Heinkel's boasts. A year or two later when the Nazi government decided to rapidly build up an air force, they sought military versions of the sleek, modern He-70, as they did the also did with the Ju-86 and Ju-52/3m and FW-200 Condor airliners, with limited success. AFAIK, the He-70 was never purpose designed as a military aircraft. No wonder Luftwaffe personnel were not impressed with it's 'poor military capabilities'. 03:11 "... the He-70s wings, crafted from spruce and plywood..." I believe the whole airframe was flush riveted metal. That was reputedly a point made by Beverley Shenstone, aerodynamicist at Supermarine when he examined one at Croydon Airport in the early 30s. Apparently he was impressed by the flush rivetting and the pure elliptical metal wings. He would later work on the Spitfire. I expect that archival footage is hard to come by but I wonder if it's possible to avoid bucketing the screen with an assortment of rapid cuts that are not directly relevant to the subject at hand? For example.. At 07:33 the topic is the He-70 in the Condor legion during the Spanish Civil war (1936-9). 07:40 Quick cut toFW-190A, which did not enter service until 1941-2 07:41 Quick cut to Bf-109F or G, not in service until 1941 07:42 Quick cut to Lockheed P-38 Lightning ! (Well I suppose 'Blitz' is German for 'Lightning' so...) 07:43 Another Bf-109F or G from the future 08:47 "... propelled by a one thousand one hundred and seventy five horsepower Daimler Benz DB-601A engine ..." Over the top of this narration is footage of a partially dismantled radial engine, not a DB-601, not even an inline engine. Great footage, but... 11:17 discussion of the He-70's commercial success over footage of a Junkers G-38 airliner Quentin Tarantino would be pleased with the fast cutting, but at times it can feel almost like a weird acid trip... To be fair Dark Skies this is a common issue with historical aviation documentaries on YT. It's not just this one. IMHO the He-70 was a largely forgotten but important milestone in 1930s aeronautical engineering. Thanks for this video.

[@diegoferreiro9478]

I can confirm by the article that I mention in another comment that the He.70 had the wings made out of wood. One of the fears that they had is that the caseine glue that bonded the wooden parts could have crystalized, but upon examination by a mechanic with expertise on wooden structured aircraft the glue was in perfect condition.

I once made a Hungarian markings He 170 from a kit, so thanks for bringing that into the video. Yes, it looked impressive and modern enough, but there needs to be more for a front-line combat type. Noting that some have commented to that effect, the He 70 was featured in Heinz Nowarra's book on the He 111, in which it was unavoidable to have photos juxtaposed with each other of the He 70 and the Vickers Supermarine Spitfire to show the influence the former had on the latter's design. It was ironic, therefore, that the Spitfire was the nemesis of many a He 111 in the Battle of Britain. I do think that you need to tone the commentary down to increase your channel's credibility, however and the flexibly mounted defensive machine gun would have been an MG 15, not an MG 17.

The plane was a civilian light transport, and not a warplane. Armament, cameras, all kind of military equipments were imposed on the design. Thus the bad evaluation of the plane by the military. For instance, the project was improvised as a dive bomber, to compete with the purpose-made Ju87. The resulting He118 could not dive vertically, but only to a limit of 45 degrees, if my memory is not failing. Udet tried the vertical dive, finishing this in parachute. The plane was not meant to be a weapon at all. Anyway, the He111 bomber and He112 fighter were, and were sucessful airplanes. This connection could perhaps be more deeply explored in another video.
