The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was the world's first
operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started even
before World War II began, but engine problems meant the aircraft
did not reach operational status until mid-1944. Compared with
Allied fighters of its day, including the jet-powered Gloster
Meteor, it was much faster and better armed. In combat, it proved
supremely difficult to counter due to its speed and the design was
pressed into a variety of roles, including light bomber,
reconnaissance and even experimental night fighter versions. The Me
262 is considered to have been the most advanced German aviation
design in operational use during World War II. The Allies countered
its potential effectiveness in the air by relentlessly attacking
the aircraft on the ground, or while they were taking off or
landing. This book provides a complete modelling guide with
numerous profiles, line drawings and photographs. This book is
written entirely in German.
