HE 162 BOMBER INTERCEPT TRAINING The Volksjager (People's Fighter) was designed to be built by unskilled laborers, and was therefore constructed largely of readily available materials, such as wood and light-weight metals. As such, it was regarded as "a peice of consumer goods", a disposable aircraft. Few spare parts were ever produced, because the average combat life of the He 162 was anticipated to be only 5 to 10 hours. YOUR MISSION Your flight of four He 162s is positioned behind a small formation of B-17 bombers and their escorts. Your two Bf 109 escorts will handle the enemy escort fighters, as you and and the other He 162 pilots attack the bombers. As you make your attack runs, remember to keep your air speed high to make your jet a harder target for the B-17 gunners. Your mission will not end automatically. You must choose to quit. Please see your reference guide for instruction on how to quit, as well as information on other controls.
