A old Short documentairy about the Messerschmitt Me 262 wich was the first jet to go into production and reach the front lines during WW2.
Late 1944-begin 1945 the first 262's started to show up in battle.
It was easily shot down during takeoff and landing, but during airial combat it was a hard target to shoot down and a real bomber-killer.

  • The 262 was not the first jet in squadron action - to kill the enemy. That was the Meteor which shot down a jet aircraft - a V1 - a moth before the 262. The 262 was first with a squadron, but it was for trials not acitive hunting.

  • The 262 was hopelessly underdeveloped being only a glorified kamikaze as it killed more Germans than allied airmen.
