Notes:
This attractive little biplane was the unsuccessful competitor to the Hs 123 in the RLM's interim dive-bomber program. This programs purpose was to find a stop gap tactical support aircraft, filling the role until a more formidable modern design could be developed. From the begining the Hs 123 was favored and although two prototype Fi 98's were ordered only the first was completed.
