** Clarification - Around 1:40 into the video the Pulse Jet Engine is mentioned. I can see how the wording is causing some confusion as there is a suggestion the Me 262 was propelled by this engine, but as indicated later it utilised Junkers Jumo Jet engines and the phrase “The Me 262 was designed with this engine in mind” referenced the pulse jet engine as a basis for propulsion not the eventual engine used. Also the reference to March 1945 with the sortie involving over 1200 allied aircraft, the correct wording was supposed to be 25 aircraft destroyed or damaged not 25%. A big difference I know. Many apologies for the confusion and the error. **
German technology became an important part of the fight on the ground and on the seas during World War Two. But it was perhaps their technological advancements with Jet Engines for their aircraft that were most impressive. With the use of this technology, the Messerschmitt Me 262 was developed. It would be the world's first operational jet powered fighter aircraft. The Me 262 would arguably change the landscape for airpower forever. In today's video we look at the Me 262 and ask the question, was it the best jet aircraft of World War Two?
