ATTACK HE 162S TAKING OFF
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was
nearly twice as large and weighed nearly
three times as much as the tiny Heinkel
He 162 Volksjager. Had they met in
combat, the results would certainly
have been interesting. The rugged
construction and heavy firepower of the
Thunderbolt would have made it a tough
opponent for the Volksjager. The speed
and spritely maneuverability of the
Heinkel would have given it a performance
edge in most areas, although the P-47 was
able to dive faster.
YOUR MISSION
On a fighter sweep from your forward
base at Babenhausen, your flight of P-47s
encounters a squadron of the new He 162
Salamanders taking off from Wiesbaden
Luftwaffe airfield. Attack the jets before
they can gain enough altitude and speed to
engage you successfully. Be careful not
to fly too closely to the enemy antiaircraft
guns at their airfield, and watch for other
Luftwaffe aircraft operating in this area.
