	Hs.293
		Henschel had proposed an unmanned bomber project which had been commissioned shortly after the outbreak of the war.
		In service trials, bomb aimers reported difficulties visually tracking the missiles against the ground and the sea, so a unit containing a flare was fitted in the tail unit which could be seen from the parent aircraft, but was not obvious to anti-aircraft gunners on the ground.
		Henschel Hs.293 guided bombs were (together with "Fritz X" guided bombs) worked into the inventory of KG 100 which used Dornier Do.217 bombers to carry them.

		Henschel took over the work of further developing this missile in early 1940, and it was decided to use some form of propulsion for the missile so that attacks at low altitude and increased range could be made.
		Hs 293B: This was a wire-controlled version of the original radio-controlled series, designed to be used in the event of a jamming of the radio control mechanism of the original series of bombs.
		Hs 293H: This missile was intended to be released and controlled in flight by one aircraft and detonated by a second observing aircraft, which would be flying in position where it would be easy to bserve the impact of the missile against the target.

		The Hs 293 project was started in 1940, based on the "Gustav Schwartz Propellerwerke" pure glide bomb which was designed in 1939.
		Henschel developed it the following year to add a rocket motor underneath it to allow it to be used from lower altitude and to increase the range.
		One drawback of the Hs 293 was that, after the missile was launched, the bomber had to fly in a straight level path, and thus could not manouvre to evade anti-aircraft guns.

	Hs-293 cruise missile series
		The Hs-293 series of air-to-surface cruise missiles were developed by a team under Dr. Wagner at Henschel Flugzeugwerke, aviation company.
		Missiles from the Hs-293 series were among other weapons captured by the Soviet trophy teams in Germany in the immediate aftermath of World War II.
		The development of the Soviet version of the vehicle was delegated to the KB-47 design bureau.

		The Hs 293 was based on a normal 500 kg (1,102 lb) bomb with wings and fins added and an engine suspended from the main body.
		The Hs 293V-4 and C-1 were guided by radio, like the Fritz-X, but after the Germans found that the Allies were capable of interferring with the control signals to the missile wire guidance was adopted.
		Since the RLM specification called for Henschel to direct its attention to developing remotely controlled air-to-surface missiles, the team began to work with the Schwarz design which was soon found to be inadequate, requiring extensive redesign and modification.

	Glide bomb
		A more useful weapon was the Henschel Hs 293[?], which fitted a set of small wings to the guidance system to flatten the trajectory and make the system easier to guide.
		The Hs 293 was first used operationally in the Bay of Biscay against RN destroyers, sinking the HMS Egret on August 27, 1943.
		The Hs 293 was also used in August 1944 to attack bridges over the River See and River Selume at the southern end of the Cherbourg peninsula in an attempt to break the Patton's advance, but this mission was unsuccessful.

	Cybermodeler Online - Monogram 1/48 He 111H
		In all, there were 23 sub-types of the H series, of which the most common models were the H-3, H-6 and H-16.
		Most H sub-types were powered by successive versions of the Jumo 211 engine, although the H-21 had 1750-hp Jumo 213E’s and the H-23 was fitted with 1776-hp Jumo 213A’s.
		Most remarkable of all the H variants was undoubtedly the bizarre He 111Z (for Zwilling, Twin), created by “marrying” two standard He 111H-6’s or H-16’s by connecting them with a new wing center section which mounted a fifth Jumo engine.

	NASM Space Artifacts: Henschel Hs 293
		The Hs 293 was a German air-launched missile for use against ships or ground targets.
		It was basically a glide bomb, assisted by a liquid-propellant rocket motor of 600 kg (1320 lbs.) thrust with a duration of 10 seconds, powered by highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide with a sodium permanganate catalyst.
		Despite the many sub-variants of the missile, only the Hs 293 A-1 model was produced in quantity, and this appears to be an example.

		They were Henschel's Hs 293A and Ruhrstahl's SD1400X, known as "Fritz X." Both missiles were air-launched from mother bombers and radio-controlled primarily against maritime targets.
		The Hs 293, meanwhile, was responsible for military history's first successful guided missile attack sinking the British sloop, Egret, on 27 August 1943.
		Further studies led to a new design in July 1940, the Hs The powerless prototype was test launched from minimum release altitudes of 3,280 feet.

	Schmetterling at AllExperts
		The Henschel Hs 117 Schmetterling (German for Butterfly) was a German surface-to-air missile project developed during World War II.
		In 1941, Professor Herbert Wagner (who was previously responsible for the Henschel Hs 293 anti-ship missile) invented the Schmetterling missile and submitted it to the RLM, who rejected the design because there was, as yet, no need for more anti-aircraft weaponry.
		However, by 1943 the large-scale bombing of Germany caused the RLM to change its mind, and the Henschel company was given a contract to develop and manufacture it.

		It was in this form as a glide bomb that the weapon was first tested, but then a powerplant was added in the form of a Walter liquidpropellant rocket extended below the body of the weapon on short struts and exhausting obliquely downward and to the rear.
		The first warplane selected as launch type for the Hs 293A initial production model was the Dornier Do 217E bomber, and the relevant aircraft were modified with an operator position in the starboard side of the forward crew compartment.
		This meant that the Hs 293A had to be released as the launch warplane paralleled the course of the target off to its right, and that the pilot had to hold a steady course as the operator kept the flare on the tail of the missile superimposed over the target image until impact.

		Henschel Flugzeugwerke A.G. was established at Kassel (Germany) by Oskar R. Henschel in 1933, the very same year Adolf Hitler rose to power, however the company had been manufacturing railway locomotives since 1848.
		The Hs 124 was Henschel's first twin engine Schnellbomber (high-speed bomber) and although it never saw service in the Luftwaffe, it became an important step in the development of the Hs 129.
		Combat experience in the Spanish Civil War proved the extreme usefulness of dive-bombers such as the Ju 87 and the Hs 123, although the lack of a superior ground strafer and fast light bomber was hard felt in that theater.
