The Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe / Sturmvogel

http://spiney.me.uk/262
Late in the war, the Japanese were shipped a complete Me-262 by submarine. They began work on a copy of the fighter, designated the "Ki-201 Karyu (Fire Dragon)", but it was never completed. They did build and fly a smaller aircraft modeled on the Me-262, the "Nakajima J8N1 Kikka (Orange Blossom)", as an attack aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). The Kikka looked enough like an Me-262 to be mistaken for it, though its rear fuselage was distinctively different, not tapering towards the tail, and its empty weight was about half that of the Me-262.

@pogpog28 Only a ridiculous cunt would disrespect the 262. Who is trying to disrespect it???

[SwordofDivision]

Although the Me-262 had some great features it also had some glaring defects. Engine unreliabilty, the heavy 30mm cannon fired too slow for a fast jet and most of all its vulnerability in take off and landing.

This is where all the fighter jets in the world originated. DO NOT DISRESPECT THE MESSERSCHMITT 262!!!

i hate your american, pathetic not objective worse documentations! but the footage is good...even history channel couldn't ruin the might of düsenpower!

[therealbamlee]

was in dieser doku vom history channel natürlich nicht erwähnt wird, ist dass es ziemlich gängige praxis der us piloten war, die me262 auch noch zu erschießen während sie am fallschirm hängen. nachzulesen zB. im buch von adolf galland

@penetriergott Alles abgesehen vom Kampf mit EXAKT den gleichen Waffen ist unfair.

Wenn du eine Waffe hast, die 100m weiter schießt, als die deines Gegners, wo ist es dann ehrlos, wenn er sich an dich ranschleicht, um dich aus kürzerer Distanz zu erwischen?

Geht halt nicht anders :D

[penetriergott]

@Broco2002 ja das stimmt, trotzdem hat das eine mit dem anderen nichts zu tun.

Es ist aber so oder nicht?
