The Heinkel HE 8 was a reconnaissance seaplane built in Germany in the late 1920s. It was developed at the request of the Danish Navy which had noted the success of the HE 5 in Swedish service and wished to purchase a similar aircraft as well as licensed production as the Orlogsvaerftet HM. II. Apart from its new Armstrong Siddeley engine the HE 8 also differed from the HE 5 and previous members of the HE 1 family in having a conventional empennage.
