Meteor vs. 262

摘要

What if the first jet versus jet combat occurred five or six years before the Korean War? It could have happened. The Luftwaffe fielded the first Messerschmitt 262s in the spring and summer of 1944, within weeks of the Royal Air Force's initial deployment of Gloster Meteors. First flown in July 1942, the Messerschmitt jet equipped fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance units.
