Typical for people who've never studied WWII. We (the U.S.) had the best weapons,
the best men and the Nips and Krauts NEVER had a chance. IF you study the air war
in particular, you'll come to the conclusion it was the grace of God and American industrial capacity that won the war. As good a fighter as the P-51 was, it was still
1930's technology. Hitler's insanity and intransigence kept the ME262 out of action
until 1944. Had it available in sufficient numbers in 1943, it is debatable whether Operation Overlord would or could have taken place. The P-80 and the Meteor were
no match for the ME262. It was faster, better armed and more maneuverable. Remember,the ME262 was the the Third Reich's FIRST generation of jet fighters. The
Horten flying wing and the Focke Wulf jet fighters were second generation fighters,
decades ahead of their Allied contemporaries.
