Heinkel He 115

The Heinkel He 115 was World War II Luftwaffe seaplane with three seats and used as a torpedo bomber and for general seaplane duties such as reconnaissance, mine laying. Armament varied but included MG 15, MG 151, and MG 17 machine guns. Other weapons used by He 115 variants include carrying LTF 5 or LTF 6b torpedoes and bomb types such as the SD 500 and SC 250. Some also carried LMB III or LMA mines. The plane was powered by two 960 hp (720 kW) nine-cylinder radial air-cooled engines. Some later models could seat four, had different engines, or used different weapon setups. About half a dozen He 115 served in the Norwegian Navy Airforce against the Germans during the Norwegian Campaign of April-June 1940.
