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.

1)I've forgotton more about WWII than you'll ever know.
2)Again,i realized that when i was 10 years old
3)No-it was 40's technology.
4)Again, not a news flash.

I suggest you brush up on your comprehension.The article i linked is full of sh!t a several levels.But it also is accurate on others.One issue that is bogus is claiming it was a threat -it wasn't.German vs American advancements isn't the issue.The aircraft NEVER flew under it's own power.German heavy water experiments were a perceived threat also...NOT.

Please provide proof it never flew. I watched the National Geographic special on this plane and according to them it flew.
