The Luftwaffe's first real warplane and used to form the the first staffel of the first Jagdgeschwader JG 132 (later renamed JG 2). The 65 was of metal, wood and fabric construction, typical of early 30's aircraft. Served as a fighter until replaced with more capable aircraft and finished it's service life as an advanced trainer until 1940. The Ar 65 was a rather mediocre aircraft but filled a void until the German aircraft industry rebuilt itself and newer types were available.
