The Heinkel He 45 was a
light bomber produced in
Germany in the early 1930s, one of the first aircraft adopted by the newly formed Luftwaffe. Its appearance was that of a conventional
biplane and included seating for pilot and gunner in tandem, open
cockpits. Developed in parallel with the
He 46, it appeared in 1931 as a general-purpose biplane and was employed mainly as a
trainer, but was also used by the Luftwaffe for
reconnaissance and light bombing duties. Production of this plane totalled 512 aircraft, including those built under licence by
Gotha,
Focke-Wulf, and
BFW.
