It was developed, constructed, and fielded by the German's during the very end of WWII. Its predecessor was the Me163 Komet, which was powered by a rocket instead of a jet engine. <br /><br />The Me262 was considered by many Germans to be a war winning aircraft, and it very well may have been had it been introduced in time and in a greater number of aircraft. It had the ability to fly much faster than any other aircraft ripping through bomber formations and easily destroying them.<br /><br />However, Allied pilots were able to shoot down a number of them despite how advanced the 262 was.<br /><br />After the war, all the countries that could get their hands on one of them took them and used them to develop their own jet fighter. </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END BACKGROUND--> <!--BEGIN PHOTOS--> <!-- <div style="text-align: center; width: 570px;"> <a id='photos'></a> <div style="background-color: #000077; text-align: left; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <span class="reg4" style="color: #ffffff;">Messerschmitt Me 262 Swallow Photos</span> </div> <div class="reg1p5" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: center; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%">No pictures available.</table> </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> --> <!--END PHOTOS--> <br /><hr /><br /> <a href="#top"><img src="/photos/top_of_page.jpg" class="imageLink" alt="Top Of Page" width="150" height="25" /></a> <br /><br /><br /> @JSCRIPT@ @JSCRIPT@ <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/stumbleupon.gif" alt="Stumble This!" class="imageLink" /> Stumble This!</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://del.icio.us/post?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/delicious.gif" alt="Bookmark on Delicious" class="imageLink" /> Bookmark on Delicious!</a> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END ID level2Center--> <!--END CENTER BAR--> <!--XX11XX GROUP CLOSE--> </td></tr></table> <!--FOOTER--> <div class="footer"> <br /> <div class="footerLeft"> Copyright © 2000-2022, The Global Aircraft Organization</div> <div class="footerRight" style="width: 49%; float: right;">[<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/legal_notices.htm" class="legalFooter">Legal Notices</a>] [<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/privacy_policy.htm" class="legalFooter">Privacy Policy</a>] </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END FOOTER--> </div> <!--END godTable--> @JSCRIPT@ </body>
