Messerschmidt ME-262

The Me-262 Schwalbe (fighter) or Sturmvogel( fighter-bomber) entered service for the Luftwaffe in 1941 and was retired at the conflict’s end in 1945. It was one of the first aircraft in the 1940s global conflict to feature jet engines, and as such, it was a serious threat in the skies.

Once the conflict was over, captured Me-262’s were put to use as test subjects by the United States. Many aspects of the North American F-86 Sabre were borrowed from the engineering tactics of the Me-262. There aren’t many left, and those that are left are likely a hodgepodge of original and refurbished parts.
