Heinkel He 162A-2 Spatz – Historical background

The Heinkel He 162A-2 Spatz was a German single-seat jet interceptor, designed in the final phase of World War II (years 1944–1945). It entered service with the Luftwaffe during operations on the Western Front and was one of the most advanced designs of that era. Eduard’s model reproduces the variants used in the closing stage of the conflict, where they were primarily employed for defense against Allied air raids.
