Production History
The first prototype, the He 49a, was flown in November 1932, and the second prototype, the He 49b, followed in February 1933, with a modified fuselage to make it 40 cm (16 in) longer. This was later turned into a floatplane, the He 49bW, and the third prototype, the He 49c, had a different engine. The He 49d went on to become the He 51, a successful German fighter during World War II and the Spanish Civil War.
Operational History
All variants - apart from the He 51 - were just prototypes, and were never deployed.
