| All I can add is that as for jet engines, General Galland mentioned to me in the 1980s that once they got the 262 up to combat speed they never "fiddled with the throttles" and that if smoothest power meant one engine was actually at a lower power setting than the other that was OK.

Country: | I love the way people on here argue about each others English skills. There's only a couple of people on here who actually write properly. The majority of you don't write properly, including you lanc. However, I do agree that tomsongs posts are pathetic.

| And since this is the way I type and converse here, I suppose that I annoy the piss out of u and regard urself better than me because u use full words rather than substituting shorter versions of words that are too long to begin with in the first place???

Country: | greetings fair maggots, I have returned from an undisclosed area, actually 3 different but who cares ........
Arado 234 units flew over Normandie after it's Allied Occupation to secure photos for further intelligence reasons; although not doing any good really. In somewhat of a jest there were at least 3 different photo missions, the unit in question was really trying to see if their slim jets could get away with doing so from US and RAF escorts, and they succeeded .......

Hi everyone. This is my first post on this board and I'll try to keep it legible and comprehensible!
Reading earlier posts on the early career of the Me 262 got me wondering about the German attitude to prototype and development aircraft. I may be wrong, but it's my impression that the Luftwaffe was far more likely to put these into combat, and also much earlier, than were the British. (It's probably unfair to include U.S. a/c in the comparison, since with the USA's relative geographical remoteness you'd want to be fairly sure of what you had before sending it 3000 mile plus).
Apart from the Me262 I'm thinking of the He112s used for airfield defence, for instance, and odd transports flying supply missions. Maybe I'm just showing my ignorance but it seems to me that, apart from specialist recce a/c and the Westland Welkin, the RAF were rather more deliberate in their testing before combat evaluation and odd prototypes were more likely to be used for testing. Off-hand, I can't think of any equivalent British examples except the dozen ( 2 dozen?) early B17s and maybe the first Mosquito bombers. (Imagine a fully-armed Martin-Baker MB.5 soaring into the skies to chase a raider - could it have happened?)
Any thoughts, anyone?
Regards,
Paul S | |

| In order to understand that you have to understand the situation the Germans were in. They were getting desperate with the allies tightening the ropes around the neck of the 3rd Reich. They had to get these superior aircraft into the air immediately to try and defend the Reich from the thousands of bombers streams every day.
This ofcourse is a debatable strategy. Maybe they should have kept developing this better and using aircraft such as the Fw-190D which was an equal allready to anything that the allies had. Instead of rushing Me-262 production, build 190Ds quicker and faster and use your infrusture to build them. I would have picked up Ta-152 production quicker than I would have Me-262.
