Powered by a Brandenburgische Motorenwerke (Bramo) Sh 14 seven-cylinder radial engine, it was ordered by the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium, State Air Ministry) in January 1935 and flew for the first time in November 1936. On a test flight in the following month, the aircraft caught fire and was destroyed in the emergency landing; the pilot was killed. |
