Historical information about the Me 262

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world’s first operational jet fighter, introduced by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II (1944-1945). The aircraft quickly earned a reputation as a groundbreaking design—used to intercept Allied bombers and also serving as an attack and reconnaissance aircraft. Despite its technological advantage, its late introduction did not change the outcome of the war, but the Me 262 has forever gone down in aviation history as a symbol of innovation.
