This Volksjäger was assembled by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke GmbH at the Heinkel-Nord plant in Rostock-Marienehe, Germany, probably in late February or March 1945. The aircraft was captured from the Luftwaffe at Leck on May 8, 1945. It was transferred to the Canadian War Museum in 1964 and to this Museum by 1967.

Volksjäger

The Heinkel He 162 jet fighter was conceived, designed, and built in 90 days as a last attempt by Germany to avoid defeat in World War 2. A rudimentary ejection seat carried the pilot past the engine air-intake on bailout. There is no evidence that any saw action.
