MMP Books 49166 Single No. 24 Henschel Hs 126 B-1 EN is an exceptionally detailed modeling publication containing color and black-and-white photographs, cross-sections, and scale plans of the German reconnaissance aircraft Henschel Hs 126 B-1. The book, in English, was prepared by the renowned publishing house MMP Books, specializing in the highest quality technical and modeling literature.

The Henschel Hs 126 B-1 was a German single-seat reconnaissance and artillery cooperation aircraft, widely used by the Luftwaffe during World War II, primarily during the Polish campaign (1939), the French campaign (1940), as well as on the Eastern Front. It served from the late 1930s and was most active during the early years of World War II (1939–1942). The Hs 126 was highly valued for its outstanding STOL capabilities, i.e., the ability to operate from short and unprepared airstrips, making it an ideal platform for reconnaissance operations directly behind the front lines.
