Heinkel He 162 Spatz (Volksjager)

Recently revised and re-printed, is this in-depth look at the controversial late war jet fighter from Heinkel. The profile consists of 72 pages and covers the political background behind the development of the aircraft, construction of the prototypes and operational variants. The book also looks at the projected variants, including the two-seat training glider and combat utilisation of the type. Post war testing by the victorious allies is also covered, as is a round up of the examples to be found, today, in the aviation museums of Europe. Also within the pages are revised 1/72 and 1/48 scale drawings, numerous black and white photos and detail drawings and diagrams. Revised colour artwork consists of 5 pages, plus the outside back cover, covering prototype, operational and test examples of the He 162 and 10 pages of close up colour photography of preserved aircraft and components may also be found. The book concludes with a technical description of the type. The text is fully bi-lingual in Czech and English and the book is printed on good quality art paper with glossy laminated covers, softback.
