The Dora 9 went into production in the Autumn of 1944. The mating of a bomber engine to a fighter airframe resulted in an extremely fast aircraft. Later the D-models were redesignated the Ta 152.

Country: | Actually I was here for it but you are not in your right mind the A was not as sleek looking and was more menacing looking, however the Dora was just beautfiful you are out of your mind! It also had better performance.

| No one can be wrong about 'looks', as " Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" 
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.
