| Or maybe it proves the question to be ambigiuous. Clearly the Me-262 didn't win the war for the Axis. Had in been in service a year earlier, maybe. Had it been in service two yars earlier definitely. I'm not sure what kinda time frame we are talking here.

Country: | Yes, Swallow is the Me-262s name. The British had jets earlier, so did the Americans.
