Heinkel A7He

The A7He Type He Air Defense Fighter was the Japanese designation for a variant of the German Heinkel He 112. In the late 1930s with its military at war in China Japan saw a need for aircraft with higher performance than then available. A number of foreign aircraft were imported and tested to discover the technology and manufacturing techniques that were used abroad. One of the aircraft that was tested was the Heinkel He 112. Japan placed an order for 24 aircraft.
