Please name the article correctly as 'Henschel & Sohn' and NOT 'Henschel & SON'. It's a German company and it's inappropriate to translate companies' names without any specific purpose.

This article appears to only cover the aviation section of the companies business, and misses out large sections such as Trains (photograph shown) Truck, construction plant and other areas that appear to be in the German version.
Unfortunately I do not read German, so cannot add any of the other material, but would suggest that an editor with German to English translation abilities could greatly improve this article by adding summaries of the other sections to give a more complete / balanced history of this firm. - BulldozerD11 (talk) 00:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Henschel started out in 1810 as a foundry and later became foremost a manufacturer of steam/electrical locomotives, also a producer of trucks, (commercial) vehicles, buses, and aircrafts. In the 1970s the Henschel Group got into such economic difficulties that it was dissolved, and its various parts were sold. Many of them today exist as successor companies, mostly as parts of other globally active groups.--Improve1800 (talk) 10:38, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

I seem to remember Henschel also produced diesel engines for trucks, buses and coaches; and their use in the second generation of Setra coaches, perhaps in the 1970's. That part of their business was taken over by Daimler/Mercedes, if my old memory still serves. But I have no references for this. Could anyone find some, and add a paragraph to the article?
