Henschel Hs 129
The Henschel 129 was the Luftwaffe's lean, mean, ground-attack machine. Built and armed like a flying tank, with everything from machine guns, 20mm, 30mm or even a 75mm anti-tank cannon, its main role became tank destroyer. It fought in North Africa but found its fame on the Eastern Front against the Red Army's T-34 and Stalin tanks. (It was also used in small numbers by the Romanian Air Force; by a twist of fate they were used against German forces when Romania changed allegiances.)
