THE Hamburger Ha-139 is an all-metal, four-engined, twin-float seaplane recently built in Hamburg to meet the requirements of the Deutsche Lufthansa for transatlantic mail service. It was designed and built by the Hamburger Flugzeubau G.m.b.H., who are a new aviation department of Blohm and Voss, the well-known shipbuilders of Hamburg. The company was formed in 1933 with Dr. Richard Vogt as Director and has in the past built several training machines ; the new Ha-139 being the largest and most important machine built up to the present time. The seaplane has a gross weight of 16 tons and a range of 5,000 kilometres (3,100 miles) at its cruising speed of 250 k.p.h. (155 m.p.h.). The four engines give a total of 2,400 h.p.
