EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a captured Luftwaffe Heinkel He-162 Volksjager Salamander sits parked on the tarmac of an RAF (Royal Air Force) airfield in England during the waning days of World War II. The He-162, a single-seat, rocket-powered jet fighter, was a late development of the German military aviation industry and was nicknamed the "Salamander" due to its distinctive fuselage shape. At the controls of this formidable machine during testing for the Allies was Captain Eric Melrose Winkle Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, RN. Born on January 21, 1919, Winkle Brown was a former Royal Navy officer with an extensive background in flying both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. His daring exploits during the war earned him numerous decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. The image captures the He-162 in RAF livery, with the iconic roundel and serial number 120072 prominently displayed on its wings. The aircraft is secured to the ground with chocks and tie-downs, and its engine cowling and wings bear the telltale signs of wear and tear from extensive use. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of wartime activity, with other aircraft and support vehicles visible in the distance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the final days of the European conflict, as the Allied forces assessed and evaluated the latest technological innovations of the defeated Axis powers. The Heinkel He-162 Volksjager Salamander, with its advanced rocket technology, would go on to influence the future of military aviation, paving the way for the development of supersonic aircraft and other advanced military technologies. This image is an essential addition to any collection of aviation history, military history, or World War II archives. Its historical significance, combined with the expert photography and intriguing subject matter, make it a must-have for scholars, enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
