The Henschel Hs 126 was a Luftwaffe (air force) aircraft of World War II. Produced in two models (A and B). Although primarily a reconnaissance aircraft, it could carry up to 50 kg of bombs and was equipped with two 7.92 mm machine guns, a forward firing MG 17 and a flexible MG 15 in the observer/gunner position. Late in the war, it was used in glider tug and night ground attack roles. Eventually it was superseded by the Fw-189.
