Country:  | The Me-262 variants.
This gentleman is the last Me-262 night fighter of WW2 that got to operational status and did fly on a few missions.
Here is some pictures of it.    
Check out this link and look almost under the title Me 262B in detail you will see three links that will show you detail pictures of the aircraft. http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazin...262b.htm#links

Country: | No, I wish they gave that info. Maybe if you track down the squadron it fought in you may get its pilot. The pictures of that link was taken a long time ago, because when I was at the museum it looked brand new and not like it looked there.
I wish I could show you my pictures but they just do not want to upload, but I will try again soon.

Country: | Now I changed the topic to be able to talk about all the Me-262 variants and prototypes build during the war.
This picture below is strange and does not look real. What do you think? 
This Me-62 is supposed to been captured by the Russians after the war but I have never seen such a Me-262 or never heard of such prototype.

Country: | Is that not one of the bomber versions? I think it was called something like Schnell-bomber or something.

Country: | "A single "Me-262-2a/U1" Sturmvogel derivative was built with an experimental bombsight system, and one or two "Me-262A-2a/U2s" Sturmvogel derivatives were built with glass noses and a Lotfe 7H bombsight for a prone bombardier to permit horizontal bombing. Neither of these experiments proved successful." http://www.faqs.org/docs/air/avme262.html#m7

Country: | It was also proposed to be used as a Mistel. The bombadier would lay in the nose and control the pilotless Me-262 from there.
