Messerschmitt Me 262
The Messerschmitt Me 262 ''Schwalbe'' / ''Sturmvogel'' (English: "Swallow"/ "Storm Bird") of Nazi Germany was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.〔Hecht, Heinrich. ''The World's First Turbojet Fighter – Messerschmitt Me 262''. Atglen, Pennsylvania: Schiffer Publishing, 1990. ISBN 0-88740-234-8.〕 Design work started before World War II began, but engine problems and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. Heavily armed, it was faster than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor.〔Gunston 1988, p. 240.〕 One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,〔Boyne 1994, p. 325.〕 the Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance, and even experimental night fighter versions.
Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills,〔Green 1970, pp. 634–638.〕 although higher claims are sometimes made. The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and during takeoff and landing. Engine reliability problems, from the pioneering nature of its Junkers Jumo 004 axial-flow turbojet engines—the first ever placed in mass production—and attacks by Allied forces on fuel supplies during the deteriorating late-war situation also reduced the effectiveness of the aircraft as a fighting force. In the end, the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war as a result of its late introduction and the consequently small numbers put in operational service.〔Gunston 1984, p. 163.〕
While German use of the aircraft ended with the close of the Second World War, a small number were operated by the Czechoslovak Air Force until 1951. Captured Me 262s were studied and flight tested by the major powers, and ultimately influenced the designs of a number of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 Sabre and Boeing B-47 Stratojet.〔 A number of aircraft have survived on static display in museums, and there have also been several privately-built flying reproductions.
