| Barry, 30.01.2013 17:57 Designed by Rheinhold Mewes, the designer of the He59, the early He60 was found to be lacking in performance so the BMW VI was replaced with a more powerful 750h.p. engine which did little to alleviate the problem. As rightly noted the He60 was replaced by the far more capable Ar196. The He60 was reduced to training roles but some He60D's were used in the reconnaissance role in Crete and Greece. reply | | bill, 20.06.2011 06:21 In its twin-float reconnaissance configuration for catapulting from warships, it remained in service until 1939.
