The Heinkel He 42, first called the HD 42, was a German two-seat biplane seaplane originally designed for the covert military training organisation Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule and later built for the Luftwaffe. Heinkel developed the HD 42 in 1929 with a welded steel tube fuselage, light-metal engine covers and floats. It was well received by the Swedish Navy, which had purchased the aircraft, and by the pilot Gunther Plüschow. The prototype had a BMW Va engine and later aircraft a Junkers L5G. Ten had been built by 1932, when the He 42C appeared; series production began with the 14 He 42D, followed in 1934 by 189 He 42E, which flying schools used until the end of the Second World War as trainers for maritime pilots. Operators included the Luftwaffe and the Bulgarian, Swedish and Romanian air arms.
