| before anyone jumps on me i know this isnt a confirmed jet kill to a piston engined pilot.
however it is a jet pilots observation comment to a piston engined aircraft
"The Messerschmitt Me 262's most dangerous opponent was the British Hawker Tempest - extremely fast at low altitudes, highly-manoeuvrable and heavily-armed."
(Hubert Lange, Me262 pilot)

Country: | I can agree with it especially since the 262 was so vunerable on the ground.

| i think the comment is made in the context of if the tempest was below 20000 ft and caught the me 262 the jet would be more sluggish at such an altitude that the tempest pilot had a good opportunity to get a long and accurate burst in to do enough damage to bring the jet down.height would be the advantage held to the me 262 over the tempest.

Country: | You are correct. The 262 performed the best at high alltitudes which is where it did its best work against the bombers.

| The He-162 finally began to see combat in mid-April. On 19 April, the pilot of a British Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter who had been captured by the Germans informed his interrogators that he had been shot down by a jet fighter, whose description was clearly that of a He-162. The Heinkel and its pilot were lost as well, shot down by an RAF Tempest fighter on the way back to base.

Country: | interesting as JG 1's diary mentions no kills claimed by He 162 pilots and the pilot you mention on the 19th of April was in combat with P-47's. Crashing his yellow 2 near Klintum. Researching.........fun and frustrating. I./JG 1 lost 10 pilots killed, 1 missing with the brunt on pilot error and a/c mechanical problems

Country: | Didn't that stupid French pilot claim he shot one down but we have all come to conclusion that he was lieing?
