Heinkel
He 162 "Volksjäger" . Last-Ditch Effort by the Luftwaffe
The
primary objective of this source edition is to provide readers with original
documents, allowing them to form their own impression of the development,
manufacture and operation of the Heinkel He 162. By linking this accumulated
data with the historical situation of those times, we hope to have facilitated a
more objective assessment of the “Volksjäger” project.
For
the purposes of this book, around 200 file documents were selected from a
multitude of material on the Heinkel He 162 and reproduced in their original
state. Complementing them are some 140 photographs, some of them unpublished
hitherto, 50 scale drawings, 30 colour plates and innumerable citations from
contemporary documents, teleprints, orders, lectures, reviews and intelligence
reports.
To
make orientation easy, documents and illustrations are arranged in chapters that
follow the historic pass off: Project, devlopment of the Heinkel He 162,
manufacturing of the "Volksjaeger", in action within the Luftwaffe and allied war
booty are the most important topics. For the first time we achieved to brake
down the production and delivery numbers of the Heinkel He 162. Our Source
Edtion >Heinkel He 162 "Volksjaeger" . Last-Ditch Effort of
the Luftwaffe< contains 430 pages of 20x28 cm in Softcover. Most of the
original documents are not translated, but discussed in the text. A
German-English glossary helps to unterstand the content of those original files.
Rounding
off the publication is a comprehensive annex giving details of propulsion units,
camouflage schemes, armament, the cockpit, plus the various versions of the
Heinkel He 162. An
index of individals, place names and subjects and a list of sources and
literature, both covering several pages, enables to work sciantifically with our
Source Edition >Heinkel He 162 "Volksjaeger" . Last-Ditch Effort of
the Luftwaffe<.
