Does the WW2 fighter jet, the Me-262, once with the P-80 or Gloster Meteor, in combat?
Heard this rumor, once, in "Mail Call". He also wondered about a "what if" scenario, if not achieved.
Unfortunately - - - No, but would have been fun, but then again as much as I presonally the ME-262 I have to admit that you have the sh ^ t expelled from it by the top two piston-driven fighters of the time, the P-51 and P-47 Thunderbolt. Of course, much of it had to do with being in the last ME_262 with grossly inexperienced pilots, but the harsh truth is that at that stage of war experienced P-47 and P-51 fighter pilots were good enough to devise tactics to cope with a faster machine that was not as well armed as the P-47 or maneuverable as the P-51. With a good pilot in command would have cursed the shore to the Brits - - - kicked the cr ^ p German biplane using Glouchester on Italy and, although primarily used against German Bombers, a British driver in a hurricane often came ahead of a meeting with the BF-109. Http: / / www.vectorsite.net/avme262.html "" On 7 October, two were shot down on takeoff by Lt. Urban L. Drew of the USAF, flying a P-51 Mustang. The Luftwaffe FW-190 finally assigned when were available and had fuel to fly air patrols around air bases to protect the Me-262s, and the airfields were surrounded by defenses heavy armor. The bullet-proof installations were a mixed blessing, however, as they often were served by poorly trained troops and nervous, they were just as likely Fire in friends and enemies. Many of the Me-262 pilots were also inexperienced, and the flight of an aircraft with higher performance than any prior surgery had been a challenge for most professional pilots. Allied bombers hit, while a beam through a high speed training was difficult, and if a pilot went down I-262 the point more carefully, it became a good target for the bombers' defensive fire and allied escort fighters. http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=123 "" It reached operational status in the last years of World War 2 and saw limited action in the conflict, but never faced one of the German reactor projects promoted in the service at the same time. The Meteor proved to be a valuable addition to the RAF and served with distinction throughout the first proud Cold War years. " Peace / / /
