Re: For He 162 Experts: He 162 that went to the US
Roger,
Your information regarding FE-489, W.Nr. 120077, Red 1, is correct. But there are errors in your list of the other three He 162s brought to the States: FE-493, was YELLOW 7 not white. There are color shots of it in print. True, the number 7 was outlined in white, but the number itself was yellow. FE-494, was He 162 A-1, W.Nr. 310017, Yellow 6, which may not have been reassembled once in arrived at Wright Field. I understand it was used as an instructional tool ,and if this is true, probably explains why it has fallen through the cracks in so many historical reports. FE-504, was W.Nr. 120230 but was reassembled in the States with the tail from W.Nr. 120222; which I think it probably still has.
