Country:  | It goes without saying, that.
Perhaps you should vote for the Blitz, I wish I did...

Country:  | I went for the ME-262. Did you hear about another german one called the 'Salmander'? It was developed in 10 WEEKS (!!!) and they used members of the Hitler Youth to fly it. (And that was only after basic training in a glider!)

Country:  | He 162 = Salamander.
Just a note folks. Try to keep on topic and try to treat each other gently 
I know that sometimes it isn't easy but... We are all here because we love aircraft and because we want to share that. Calling each other names is NOT a good way to build community even WITH smileys!

Country: | Where was we calling each other names? 
What I find interesting about the He-162 was that it was consructed primarily of balsawood  Not what you would call entirely practical for a jet
There was also another plane that looked almost identical to the Heinkel He-162; and that was the Henschel Hs-132. However unlike the He-162, the Hs-132 was designed to be a dive-bomber and not a fighter. It was also the worlds first jet dive-bomber.

Country: | For a jet it probably is quite small, but about the same size as a 190A or Spit I reckon.

Country:  | it's small because the pilot lays in the prone posistion, partailly to reduce the frontal area of the plane but it also helps the pilot withstand the huge G-forces...................
