Squadron Signal - Aircraft In Action 1142 FW-189
In ihc February of 1937 the Technische Ami (Technical Office) of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM > opened competition for a new aircraft to replace the Luftwaffe's current reconnaissance aircraft thai equipped the Aujkldrungsslaffeltt (H) (tactical reconnaissance squadrons). Up until this time, the Luftwaffe had used the Hcinke! He 46 for this role, but this aircraft was rapidly becoming obsolete. The He 46 filled the reconnaissance mission with excellent downward visibility and good slow speed handling. In 1935. Hcnschel offered the HS 122 as a replacement for the He 46; however, the aircraft was only some six mph (10 km/h ) faster than the earlier aircraft. The Hs I22's 167 mph top speed (270 km/h) was deemed to be insufficient and Hcnschel rebuilt the prototype, using a more powerful engine and improved airframe. This prototype evolved into the Hs 126 high wing, two seat tactical reconnaissance aircraft.
