                Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger 

Heinkel He 162 Spatz byl německý proudový stíhací letoun, který sloužil v řadách Luftwaffe v posledních měsících druhé světové války. Letoun byl znám i pod označením Volksjäger (lidový stíhač) nebo také chybně Salamander(Mlok).

The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger (German, “People’s Fighter”), the name of a project of the Emergency Fighter Program design competition, was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in World War II.

It was designed and built quickly and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritised for other aircraft. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry’s official name for the government design program competition won by the He 162 design. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its construction program, and Spatz (“Sparrow”), which was the name given to the plane by Heinkel.
