Professional photographers will often go to great lengths to get "THE" shot, but I have to admit that I was impressed when I saw the film that this render is based on. I guess it took a while for someone to figure that it was a bit safer to mount the camera inside the plane. Possibly because of some close calls? The Heinkel He 70 was one of those planes that didn't really make a big splash in the history books, but which did a tremendous amount to influence and further aircraft design during the war. Originally designed in the 1930's as a fast mail plane, and then as a passenger plane which carried a roster of 4 passengers (no cabin steward) and crew. the He 70 was re-imagined and pressed into service as a fast reconnaissance plane for the fledgling Luftwaffe. Like many German weapons before the war, it got tested for it's military suitability during the Spanish Civil War (think back on the joy of the American military when the Vietnam conflict came along with the same opportunities). Although it was quickly eclipsed and outpaced by the tide of innovation, despite its very impressive speed and distance records, the "Blitz" as it was nicknamed, influence the elliptical wing design of the successful He 111 bomber. Japan also had the opportunity to acquire the item and deftly integrated the elliptical wing shape into their "Kate" bomber as well. Still, there's that guy hanging out the side taking pictures....
