Following its involvement in the Spanish Civil War, the Luftwaffe, or German Air Force, decided that it needed a purpose-built close ground-attack aircraft.
A Henschel design eventually won the contract and the Hs 129 ‘Panzerknacker’ (or, ‘Tank Buster’) entered service in December 1941.
The first variants of the Hs 129 proved to be underpowered. After the fall of France, German engineers fitted a pair of French Gnome-Rhône 14M radial engines and the Hs 129 Panzerknacker began its stunning military service career.
