Country:  | Steve A. wrote me a lengthy reply some years back and we have also chatted on the phone so when I come to the date where he bagged a jet I will include this. think it would be best to hae something like this thread for a chronological order of things with anyone adding their two cents. most pics obviously are from the spring of 45 as the jets were becoming the standard Luftw. fighter encountered with many prop jobs on the Ost front. I have some intersteing March/April 1945 bomber crew interviews on jet attacks on their bomber boxes coming up later

| That sounds pretty much like what I've read. At least one USAAF P-47 intercept of Me262's mentioned how lucky he was to catch a pair of A2's down low and slow, probably short on fuel. As soon as his .50's let them know he was diving on them, the one he didn't flame took off, climbing at a speed he couldn't hope to match and disappeared.
And I thought the majority of of Me262 fatalities were groundfire, misadventure and bomber's guns and ground attack aircraft, the greater portion of those shot down by fighters were at their airfields before those wrongly assigned high altitude Focke Wulf things were stationed to protect them when they were vulnerable (they could've used F-8's or Gustavs for that and let the whatchamacallits do their high altitude intercept job).
It's been a long while since I've read all this stuff though so I don't trust my memory too precisely.

Country:  | well you're right for the most part, most -262s were shot down on take of and landing when they're lowest and slowest.........

Country: | I'll have you know Britain has been using that "word" for a long-long time. The Australians are a little slow on the uptake, so it's new to them.
(No joke)
