The first prototype of the Heinkel He 70, the He 70a V1, Werknummer 403, D-2537 (formerly D-3 until June 1933; D-UHUX as of 1934), Blitz. The paint scheme is the typical pale gray DLH finish with black trim.
This aircraft was first flown in Warnemünde on December 1, 1932. It was then used for a number of international speed record flights and subsequently operated by Deutsche Luft Hansa for passenger flights until it was lost on November 3, 1934, at Carcasonne.
