Heinkel He 162

A quick tribute to the Heinkel He 162, a revolutionary Nazi jet fighter plane that appeared in the final few weeks of World War Two. The plane was in the air within an astoundingly short period of time: the design was chosen on 25 September 1944, and first flew on December 6 1944, less than 90 days later! It first saw active service in mid April 1945.
