Dr. Ernst Heinkel (January 24, 1888 – January 30, 1958) was a German aircraft designer, manufacturer, Wehrwirtschaftsführer in the Third Reich, and member of the Nazi party. His company Heinkel Flugzeugwerke produced the Heinkel He 178, the world's first turbojet aircraft and jet plane, and the Heinkel He 176, the first rocket aircraft. He was awarded the German National Prize for Art and Science in 1938.
He was born in Grunbach, today a part of Remshalden. As a young man he became an apprentice machinist at a foundry. Heinkel studied at the Technical Academy of Stuttgart, where he initially became interested in aviation through a fascination with Zeppelins, and in 1909 attended an international airshow in Frankfurt am Main. He determined flight was the future of transportation, and the following year, he built his first aircraft, working from a set of plans by Henri Farman. Heinkel crashed the plane in 1911 and suffered severe injuries.
Soon afterwards, he gained employment at Luft-Verkehrs Gesellschaft (LVG), who were building Farman aircraft. From there, he went to Albatros, where Heinkel designed the Albatros B-II, a reconnaissance aircraft used during the early stages of the First World War. His planes were used by the Austro-Hungarian army and Germany's Kaiserliche Marine during the war. After leaving the Albatros, Heinkel designed several land- and seaplanes for the Hansa-Brandenburg company starting in 1914.
The He 280 was the first turbojet-powered fighter aircraft in the world. It was inspired by Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on research into high-speed flight and built on the company's experience with the He 178 jet prototype. A combination of technical and political factors led to it being passed over in favor of the Messerschmitt Me 262. Only nine were built and none reached operational status.

The Heinkel He 343 was a four-engine jet bomber project by Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in the last years of the Third Reich.
The Heinkel He 178 was the world's first aircraft to fly under turbojet power, and the first practical jet plane, the pioneering example of this type of aircraft. It was a private venture by the German Heinkel company in accordance with director Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on developing technology for high-speed flight and first flew on 27 August 1939 piloted by Erich Warsitz. This had been preceded by a short hop three days earlier.
Düsenjets sind die Königinnen der Lüfte: Innerhalb weniger Minuten steigen die riesigen Stahlvögel auf mehr als 10.000 Meter und rasen hoch oben über den Wolken von einem Ort zum nächsten. Sie überwinden Meere, Berge und Wüsten und befördern Millionen von Menschen rund um den Globus. Möglich machen das extrem leistungsstarke Triebwerke. Sie zu bauen bedeutet höchste Ingenieurskunst. Das beherrscht ein Unternehmen, das eher mit luxuriösen Autos als mit Flugzeugen in Verbindung gebracht wird. Der Name Rolls-Royce steht nämlich nicht nur für PS-starke Motoren, die englische Traditionsfirma baut auch die besten Triebwerke der Welt. Das neueste Meisterstück heißt "Trent 1000". Es ist der effizienteste und leiseste Düsenantrieb seiner Klasse, entwickelt für den "Dreamliner 787" von Boeing. Mit d...

Heinkel He 111 Die Heinkel He 111 war ein zweimotoriger freitragender Tiefdecker in Ganzmetallbauweise mit Einziehfahrwerk der Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke, Rostock. Die Konstruktion von Siegfried Günter baute dabei stark auf den Erfahrungen mit dem einmotorigen Schnellverkehrsflugzeug He 70 auf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_111

The Messerschmitt Me 321 Gigant was a large German cargo glider aircraft developed during the Second World War. The Me 263 had a framework of steel tubing provided by the Mannesmann company, with wooden spars and a covering of doped fabric. This allowed for quick construction and easy repair when needed and also saved weight. The Me 263 was redesignated the Me 321 and was nicknamed Gigant (Giant) due to its huge size. Its nose stood over 6 metres (20 ft) high, and was made up of two clamshell doors. The doors could only be opened from the inside, when ramps would be used to allow vehicles to drive in or out. Compared to the Ju 52, the Me 321 offered a load area 6 times larger, at around 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft), and could accommodate a gross cargo weighing up to 23 metric tons...

We have to make sure lines of communication are open and working, that the telephones are working." THOMSON: "Mr. Regev, I think you know what happened ...

Excerpt from a 1935 German film promoting the Luftwaffe. The famed WWI ace, Ernst Udet, has a prominent role inspiring Heinz (Jurgen Ohlsen), a teenager, to realize his dreams of becoming a pilot. This first clip shows Udet happening across a group of young boys flying a kite. I don't know German all that well, but I gather that Heinz's father was also a pilot in the war and died, and Udet knew him from the old days. So he takes Heinz for a ride in his Flamingo. No subtitles. Sorry!
