Heinkel He 162 Salamander – Short Historical Overview

The Heinkel He 162, often referred to as the "Salamander," was a German jet fighter used by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II. It was one of the most technologically advanced aircraft of its era, designed rapidly as part of the Volksjäger ("people's fighter") program aimed at strengthening the weakened air force of the Third Reich. These aircraft appeared on the front lines from late 1944, though only in limited numbers and mainly in Jagdgeschwader 1 unit. Their use in air battles over Germany during the last months of the war is well documented.
