Leck He 162s

[Simon Schatz]

Hi together!

I found the pages of Lt. Schmitt's Flightbook in the book

Heinkel He 162
"Volksjäger"
Entwicklung Produktion Einsatz
Verlag Dr. Alfred Hiller, Wien

Very interesting is the fact that the planes that were flown byLt. Schmitt are listed with tactical markings and others with Werknumbers.

flight 604 - April 3rd 1945 He 162 White 1 from Parchim to Parchim
flight 605 - April 4th 1945 He 162 120013 from Ludwigslust to Parchim
flight 606 - April 8th 1945 He 162 120068 from Rostock-Marienehe to Ludwigslust
flight 607 - April 15th 1945 He 162 White 7 from Ludwigslust to Husum
flight 608 - April 16th 1945 He 162 White 7 from Husum to Leck
flight 609 - April 20th 1945 He 162 White 7 Leck
flight 610 - April 25th 1945 He 162 White 5 Leck
flight 611 - May 4th 1945 He 162 White 1 Leck
flight 612 - May 4th 1945 He 162 White 2 Leck

As you can see the White 1 is listened before the 120013. So I think the well known White 1 is not Werknumber 120013 as Olivier Menu wrote in his list. I think 120068 didn't have a tactical number at this date because the plane was flown from Heinkel factory to JG 1. Red 6 was applied after the plane arrived there.

What do you think about that?

Cheers, Simon
