| Does the question include prototypes and drawing board renditions? If so, what are the rules? Concept design, blueprint rendition or actual build numbers?
Does it have to be squadron service?

Country: | i think it had to have entered service, otherwise everyone would be suggesting german designs that they said could reach 600mph on a 500lb engine with a range of 1,500 miles and a 6,000kg payload, the germans had thousands of designs, many of which wouldn't have worked, but, it's easier to limit it to planes that saw active service........

Country: | Agreed it should have atleast flown I believe, but service is deffinatly better because then it can be atleast rated off of accomplishments.
I agree with you that the Me-262 was the best jet of the war, however it was by far from perfect (but then again what aircraft is really perfect). Had they been able to fix the engine problems that the 262 had she would have been truely amazing. I believe the main thing the 262 did due to the fact that it was too few too late was the shock factor that she gave when teh USAAF first saw her for the first time.

| I guess not many folk may be aware of this, but the RAF's Meteor Squadron, 616 Sqn. did destroy a Me-262 before the end of the War......

Country: | Was it destroyed on the Ground because there were no air to air combat between the Me-262 and the Meteor?
