| Apr 32 | D-2258 | DVS GmbH | Crashed April 29th, 1932 in Schleissheim near Munic. Pilot Notz dead. Presumably stalled while turning back after engine failure |
The first of the series of built He64s was even more similar to the Bäumer Aero “Sausewind”, designed by the same engineers, because she was still equipped with the elliptical wing.
Oskar Notz, a former army officer and participant of the earlier European Contests as well, intended to testfly this aircraft in Schleissheim.
At 12.15 p.m. On the 29th of April 1932 obviously the engine quitted. As the eyewitness, an employee of the newspaper “Münchener Neueste Nachrichten” (Newest News of Munic) in an article on the 30th April 1932 explained, the turnback was not successful.
