S 12 Heinkel He114

ISSN 0345-3413

Why make a book about the aircraft S 12, one might wonder. Primarly because this is an aircraft type of which very little has been documented. There were only 12 aircraft of this type at F 2 Wing during 1941-1948. One aircraft was sold in 1948, civil registered and flew a few years on fish carrying missions in Northern Sweden.
When talking to the people that were operating the S 12 phrases like: ”The best aircraft ever flown” and ”tremendous water and air performance” can be heard.
It is unfortunate tragic that no aircraft has been saved for a museum.
