The Henschel Hs-123 was one of the world's best fighter biplanes. It first saw action in the Spanish Civil War.
In World War II Henschel Hs-123 aircraft were used in Poland, France, the Balkans, and Russia.
The biplane developed a reputation as a sturdy tactical aircraft. It was used for ground attack until replaced by the Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber.
Its air cooled engine and excellent ground handling ability, even from muddy runways, kept the it in constant operational readiness during the Russian winter of 1941/42.
Lack of parts rather than lack of usefulness ended the career of the attack biplane in mid 1944 because all its jigs and tooling had been scrapped in 1938.
