During training, instructors closely observed the cadets, and based on their evaluations, decisions were made regarding the pilot’s future specialization—fighter, bomber, or reconnaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFlights were conducted on light training aircraft, but the schools also included both outdated and modern combat aircraft, including the Hs 123 biplanes. Serial production of these aircraft began in September 1936. The primary role of the biplane was to provide close air support to ground forces, for which it was equipped with two synchronized machine guns and the ability to carry bombs with a total weight of up to 450 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHs 123s were assigned to air groups for direct infantry support and were also widely used by training units. The aircraft featured a simple design but was distinguished by reliability and good flight performance, which allowed it to remain in Luftwaffe service almost until the end of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/32   \u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM Models   \u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM32017\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: ICM Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Luftwaffe Pilot School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ICM32017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Aircraft Model Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/icm-models\"\u003eICM Models\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-aircraft\"\u003eModel Aircraft\u003c\/a\u003e or prepare your next project with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tools-supplies\"\u003eTools \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e at Mega Hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974302400586,"sku":"ICM32017","price":88.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/icm32017-132-icm-models-luftwaffe-pilot-school-plastic-model-kit-squadron-model-models__16278.1775198833.jpg?v=1794548737","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/icm32017","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
