    The Luftwaffe's Last Hope

    As the situation became more desperate for the German forces near the
    end of WWII, a call was made for a new inexpensive jet fighter that
    would be simple to produce and fly. In the amazingly short span of 3
    months from drawing board to first flight of the prototype, Heinkel
    produced the small, sporty-looking He162. The lightweight fighter
    featured mainly wooden construction and was powered by a BMW003
    turbojet, which made it the fastest jet fighter of WWII with its 838km/h
    top speed. Reaching combat units in late March 1945, it managed to
    record some successes despite the acute fuel and parts shortage.
