Heinkel He162 A-2 "Salamander"
The Luftwaffe's Last Hope
As the situation became more desperate for the German forces near the
end of WWII,
a call was made for a new inexpensive jet fighter that would be simple
to produce and fly.
In the amazingly short span of 3 months from drawing board to first
flight of the prototype, Heinkel produced the small, sporty-looking
He162.
The lightweight fighter featured mainly wooden construction and was
powered by a BMW003 turbojet,
which made it the fastest jet fighter of WWII with its 838km/h top
speed.
Reaching combat units in late March 1945, it managed to record some
successes despite the acute fuel and parts shortage. |
