Comments
Designed to replace the He 60, the He 114 suffered from substantial teething problems resulting in nine prototypes being built. This aircraft was never really successful and only small numbers of various versions were built. These served briefly with the Luftwaffe before being transferred to Romania, Spain and Sweden.
