		Erprobungskommando 162 fighters, which had been passed on to an operational unit under Adolf Galland a few weeks earlier, were all destroyed by their crews to keep the jets from falling into Allied hands.
		It was fortunate for the Allies that the He-162 was much too late to be anything more than a footnote to the history of the air war over Europe, but a certain curiosity remains over what it might have been able to do had events been more favorable to it.

		Of interest is that the He 162 was in fact based on an earlier Heinkel design for the P.1073 jet fighter project.
		The He 162 was officially designated as the "People's Fighters" (Volksjäger) by the Luftwaffe, which, when completed, was to be flown by the Hitlerjugend.
		At least one He 162 (M42) is known to have flown towards the end of March 1945 in Bad Gandersheim with two Argus As 014 thruster rockets; the same power plants used on the V-1.

	Heinkel He 162 Information
		However, Heinkel had already been working on a series of "paper projects" for light single-engine fighters over the last year under the designation P.1073, and had gone so far as to build and test several models and conduct some wind tunnel testing.
		The first flight of the He 162 V1, by test pilot Gotthard Peter, was fairly successful, but during a high-speed run at 840 km/h the highly acidic replacement glue (for the Tego-Film adhesive that was no longer available) holding the nose gear cover on failed and the pilot was forced to land.

		Heinkel was selected by the rapidly expanding Luftwaffe to adapt the He 70 and He 111 for military use as bombers, the latter becoming the mainstay of later German bombing campaigns.
		At wars end Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft, instead turning to the manufacture of bicycles and motor scooters as a means of providing work for thousands.
		Heinkel’s foray into car manufacture was brief, and made under adverse conditions, which is what makes them so highly prized today.

	He-162 Volksjaeger
		The Heinkel proposal was accepted as being the quickest to implement and the He-162 began serious development from Heinkel P.1073.
		Heinkel was given a contract to produce 1000 aircraft which the administration called “Salamander” (Heinkel called it “Sparrow”) to be delivered by end of April 1945 with production scheduled to ramp up to 2000 units per month by May 1945.
		On April 19 1945 the He-162 drew blood for the first time by downing an RAF fighter but that Salamander was shot down by a Hurricane on its approach to the field.

	The Heinkel He-162 Volksjäger
		The Heinkel He-162 could be built by semiskilled labour out of non-strategic materials.
		The He-162 Salamander is interesting not only in itself but for the insight its creation gives us into the minds of the German leadership at the time.Göring and others seriously wanted the plane to be piloted by half trained members of the Hitler Youth.
		Despite the often brilliant innovations of their fighter plane designers and the undeniable skill of their airmen it was the German leadership that lead to the ultimate failure of their fighter force in the Second World War.

	Heinkel He 162
		Heinkel's representative complained long and loud that their plane was being judged unfairly in the contest, Another meeting was scheduled for the 19th of September to make a final decision.
		The unarmed He 162 V1 was rolled out at the beginning of December, and it made its first flight on the 6th at the Schwechat factory airbase near Vienna.
		The 162 is a spritely plane in comparison, it had a superb 4600ft/min climb rate, a better power to weight ratio than the 262, and generally good response to the controls (with the exceptions noted above).

		The solution appeared to be a disposable plane, and the Volksjäger project was born.The Volksjäger, or Peoples Fighter, took some convincing before it was finally approved in late 1944.
		When it was, the design was selected and approved in only three weeks, with Heinkel[?] winning the contract over the better Arado[?] design because they could be in production earlier.
		Only one gruppen had completely re-formed with the He 162 in late April, and they claimed two or three planes in combat before their base was taken over by the British in early May.

	The Heinkel He 162
		The Heinkel He 162 was one of the last gasps of the German Luftwaffe at the end of the Second World War.
		Designed to use minimal materials and supposedly to be flown by novice pilots, the He 162 proved to be a handful to fly and as such its impact was nearly non-existant.
		This Heinkel He 162 was found outside the Junkers factory by Allied forces.

		While the Heinkel company pioneered jet technology with its successful test flight on August 8th, 1938, it lost out to the Messerschmitt Me262 which became the first operational jet fighter.
		Heinkel's proposal was chosen because it promised a mass producible jet that could be flown by relatively inexperienced pilots.
		Rushed from proposal stage to finished prototype in 3 months, the He162 was first deployed to a base near the Danish border, but with only 1 month left until the end of the war in Europe, came too late to demonstrate its combat potential.

	Heinkel He 162 with forward swept wing (1/72)
		Heinkel He 162 with forward-swept wing was another of the long line of He 162 development projects.
		The proper designation is not known, as with all other He 162 [non-operational] developments (only known version designations are He 162A-1, A-2, A-3 and S) - some sources say the FSW development was He 162C, others that He 162D.
		I used the photos in the old Schiffer book on He 162 (by Heinz Nowarra) as reference (it has several photos of a He 162 unit surrendering to the Allies, their planes neatly lined up and most covers still in place), for determining the dimensions of the covers.

		Revell's 1/32 scale Heinkel He 162 comprises 87 parts in pale grey injection moulded plastic on four sprues, and 4 clear parts.
		The Heinkel He 162 was a simple aircraft, and the relatively small number of kit parts reflects that simplicity.
		In this scale, the He 162 is big enough to see the detail but small enough to display easily.

	Info about the Heinkel He-162 Salamander Volksjager German Jet Fighter
		Since Heinkel was already evolved a similar project some months earlier, a design proposal was quickly drafted and submitted to the Technical Office within a matter of days.
		One of the most rapidly conceived warplanes ever produced, the He 162 home defence fighter existed as a wooden mockup within IS days of the issue, on 8 September 1944, of the RLM requirement.
		When the first prototype took to the air from Heinkel's field at ViennaSchwechat, a structural failure was revealed (due to the breakage of one of the covers of the landing gear housing) probably caused by a welding error.

		The Lutwaffe considered having the Hitler Youth ; fly the He-162, due to a lack of experienced pilots. After some experimenting, the idea was dropped. A jet aircraft was beyond the capabilities of all but the very best pilots.
		A test variant of the He-162 was designed to operate us- ing low octane lawnmower type fuel, to ease Germany's fuel shortage.
		A test variant of the He-162 included twin engines for in- terception missions.

		Although pulsejets, unlike ramjets, can in principle produce static thrust, the Argus pulsejets didn't produce enough power at low speeds for takeoff, and so various launch schemes were considered, ranging from towplanes to catapults to the most intelligent solution, a rocket-assisted takeoff booster unit.

		In January 1945 the Volksjager-Erprobungskommando 162 was formed with Oberst Heinz Bar in command.
		Overall this He-162 model kit is very good, although a bit overpriced.
		It builds into a little fighter with a very impressive engine on its back, and it will be a crime to close the engine covers.

	Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger in detail
		Sometimes referred to as Salamander, the Heinkel He 162 was a rushed attempt to provide a mass-produced fighter that would stem the Allied bombing offensive on Germany.
		It was submitted by Heinkel to meet an 8 September 1944 requirement for a simple, lightweight jet fighter.
		Only one version had been produced before the war ended, the He 162 A. It had two sub-variants, the A-1, armed with two 30mm MK108 cannon, and A-2, replacing these with high-velocity MG 151 20mm cannon.

		With the world speed record smashed by the Heinkel He 100 and shortly after by the Me 209 it was clear that no matter how much power a piston-engine plane possessed it could only approach the speed of sound, an entirely new method of propulsion would be needed to achieve greater performance.
		The world's first jet fighter, the Heinkel He 280, took the air on March 30, 1941 in a flight lasting just three minutes - this was a scant six weeks before a specially built Gloster plane (E.28/39) flew using Frank Whittle's turbojet design.
		Heinkel produced a wooden mock-up of the He 162 within 15 days.
