The Henschel Hs 129 B-2 was a German twin-engine ground-attack aircraft developed specifically for close air support and anti-armor missions during World War II. Its compact design, armoured cockpit, and heavy forward-firing armament made the Hs 129 one of the most distinctive specialized ground-attack aircraft operated by the Luftwaffe.

The Hs 129 B-2 was powered by two Gnome-Rhone 14M radial engines. Standard armament included two 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons. Depending on the mission, additional weapons could be carried, including bombs and various externally mounted anti-tank guns.

The Hs 129 B-2 saw extensive combat primarily on the Eastern Front, where it was used against tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery positions, and other ground targets. The type was also operated in North Africa and was supplied in limited numbers to the Romanian Air Force.

The Henschel Hs 129 was produced from 1940 to 1944. Despite being manufactured in relatively limited numbers, it became one of the best-known purpose-built German ground-attack aircraft of World War II.
