By engaging the twin-brothers Siegfried and Walter Günter a new era of aerodynamics broke out at Heinkel, with the sports- aeroplane Heinkel 64 as the first manifestation.

Sports-aeroplanes and their contests became increasingly popular in Germany – the development was vehement. Whereas the average speeds in the international tourist plane contest 1930 were about 170 km/h, they reached already over 200 km/h in 1932; the Messerschmitt M29 reached a top speed of 268 km/h during the preparations to the contest. In the contest, the Heinkel as the fastest aeroplane scored 241km/h

Interesting the glitch the retoucher made in the picture on the upper left side: Compare the registration on the left wing to the right wing.
